With this number we conclude another volume of the Friend, and hope to commence n new volume on the Ist of January, 1871. We have not much now to say about our principles, or the manner of executing our duties as editor and publisher. The manner in which we have been encouraged to publish this monthly sheet for so many years, has been convincing proof that there was a need of the same, and that it filled a niche in the temple of newspapers and periodicals which was occupied by no other publication. Thankful for past favors, grateful for present support, and hopeful for the time to come, we go forth to meet the " shadowy future." tH7" With this issue we conclude our Notes and Reflections," commenced in "May, 1869. We have published thirteen " numbers " on America, and " eleven numbers " on our journey through England, France, Italy, Egypt, Syria and Greece, equaling in printed matter a " 12-mo." volume of 200 pages. It affords us much gratification that our sketches of travel, jotted down while rapidly passing along from one country to another, have been perused with interest by our readers on land and sea. We have had frequent applications for the entire series, and shall be ready to furnish them, either stitched or in bound volumes of the Friend. {{HI Scries, Dot 2* HONOLULU, uECKMBtiIt I, 1810. He chose for his text the words of Peter in his first epistle, 2:17: "Honor all men." Some men, he remarked, would of course be honored, for mankind took special delight in hero-worship. Euch nation had its idols, and military chieftains were admired by all. The sentiment of the text, however, inculcnting the doctrine that man, simply because he was a man, was deserving of honor, because ho was created originally in God's image, and however debased, still retained the elements of his divine and immortal nature. The subject was carefully elaborated and beautifully illustrated. In the conclusion, he referred to the fact that there was upward progress in the treatment which MM as man was now receiving. The entire discourse was pervaded with the spirit of divine philosophy and a truly Christian democratic element. It was quite timely, and suited the state of the community. A copy hat been requested for publication, and will appear in the Hawaiian Gazette. We were glad to notice in the audience the American Minister, French Commissioner, Captain of the St. Marys, and a good representation of ship-masters and officers of the whaling fleet, together with a fair representation ol the resident foreign community. Captains' Wives.—We shall hereafter rather question the reports about the terrors of the Arctic, when so many ship-masters are accompanied by their "better halves." We hear of seven ladies this season who have passed in and out of Bhering's Straits, and some of them have made several voyages thither.

"WE SAILED UNDER CYPRUS." ACTS 27:4. When the Apostle Paul, accompanied by the Evangelist Luke, made their voyage from Palestine to Rome, as recorded in the closing chapters of the Book of Acts, the historian Luke remarks, We sailed under Cyprus." When making our passage from Palestine to Rome, eighteen hundred years subsequently, we too sailed, or rather steamed under Cyprus, and came to anchor in the beautiful Bay of Larnaca, on the southeast shore. Our steamer entered the harbor or roadstead before daylight on the morning of January sth, 1870,after a passage of twelve hour? from Beirut. It is a beautiful bay. The surrounding country appears hilly, and in the distance mountains of moderate size rise above the hills. At present the hills appear exceedingly barren and destitute of verdure. Our vessel came to anchor in clear and smooth water, about one-eighth of a mile from the landing place. We found here an American Consul, General L. P. di Cesnola. He is an Italian by birth, but was a General in the late war, and is married to a " New York lady. He received this appointment at the close of the war. The salary is only $1,000 per annum, but most fortunately for the General, he has succeeded in making some of the most valaable discoveries of ancient tombs, and from these he has taken relics, which nre of great value- historically and archasologically. These discoveries relate to a remote period when the Phoenicians held the island. Some of these are of an Egyptian type, while others are of Babylonian, Grecian and Roman type; hence historically they are of great value. Already has General Cesnola opened about three thousand tombs, From these he has taken a great number of specimens of pottery, sculp- �106 THE KItI I: M>.

One more meeting of this goodly Board of Foreign Missions is over. Brooklyn with lier "many churches" witnessed -this year the meeting of this nohle body. It was one of rare interest and importance, for you know that it was the last time that Presbyterian and Congregationalist met on the this separa" old-time footing. Though tion cast something of a shadow over the meeting, yet the true Christian feeling manifested on both sides did much to lessen this. The business matters attending such a change, and the arrangement of different mission fields, occupied much of the time. However, there were grand meetings at the Academy of Music, where (he number in atli'tiiliincc gave evidence of the deep interest felt in the subject of missions. In fact, this whole session of the Board has been eminently characterized by a true noble tone— a more than wonted spirit. The presence of several English gentlemen imparted a.' peculiar interest to a number of the meetings, and their pleasant, hearty words—truly English words —many will cherish. You will, through the papers, learn of the various eloquent addresses made. Of the men themselves I would write, did I not know full well that you still retain a " mind-picture " of the grand group, ever present at this annual meeting. From many distant fields ef labor came news of Christian warfare and of victory—of bright hopes of future blessing. Though in the "great assembly" one finds much of interest, yet it is in the meeting devoted exclusively to the missionaries that ww feels the trim mission, of Christ's followers. Here where all restraint is removed, they tell of their life in far-off" homes, of their trials and their " heart-aches," but above all, of the peace and joy they find in leaching of the Master. One meeting in particular I remember, where in eighteen different languages that ever precious verse, "Jesus wept," was repeated. And then with perhaps a want of harmony of tone at times, but never of heart, "Come to Jesus " was sung. On Tuesday evening Dr. Steams, of Newark, opened the services of the week with the annual sermon. On Wednesday morning I found myself with the great multitude moving toward the Academy of Music. This really opening service was occupied in a very great measure with business. It was very pleasant to meet old friends and familiar faces continually, and to watch the joyous meetings of missionaries, true veterans in the service, alter so many yean of sepa- " ration. After this morning service the missionaries went to the vcstry-rooin of the Church " I) E€E I I X It, Is 7(I of the Pilgrims." As this was only for real tnissioiiririrs and their children, 1 thought I might not gain admission, but when I saw so many islanders, I doubted not I would be welcome. I think we enjoyed these meetings most of all. Here I met the Grouts from Africa. Mrs. G. sends much love to her old school-mate. A bright, cheerful little lady is this Mrs. Grout. Then there were missionaries from Syria, India, north and south —from Turkey, in Europe, in Asia—from Africa, and many from our own Islands and Micronesia. There seemed to be much more heart in these meetings than in those great gatherings in Music Hall. One afternoon was given up quite to the Islands. Mr. Coan spoke in his own sweet way ; Dr. Gulick was more fiery and fluent than ever, and Dr. Clark told of his recent visit to the group. Now the connection between the Board and the Islands ceases. A truly grand work has been done. Each meeting brought much of interest. I enjoyed hearing these rare men of whom I had so often read —President Hopkins, Dr. Bacon, Storrs, Beecher, Albert Barnes, &c. You will find in the papers far better accounts of each meeting than I could give. Several gentlemen from England spoke, one very eloquently. President Gulliver, of Knox College, made perhaps the most telling speech of all. Mr. Beecher in his humorous, yet powerful way, seemed completely lo rule the audience. Whnt a wonderful power this man possesses ! A nil what it really is I can never understand, for all that he said, if uttered by any one else perhaps, would have had but little force, yet he seemed fairly to carry all before him. By the way, I was with some friends and was introduced to Mr. Beecher. 1 had hoped that on touching his sacred (?) hand I might receive some of his power and inspiration; but it was not so, and this faint " hero-worship" was not rewarded. I asked him whether he was coming to Amherst soon, (we had been expecting him for some time past,) but he said he should be unable to come, as he had had so many weeks " knocked from under him of late," and all his leisure time was over. One of the most impressive services of the week was held at Mr. Beecher's church. It was the communion service. Mr. Snow of Micronesia, Dr. Richard Storrs and Mr. Mitchell presided. There was such " holy stillness" reigning throughout that immense assembly. Every now and then there would come faint, far-away melody—tender, yet so grand, from the organ ; and we could hear Dr. Storrs' clear, flute-like voice as he told of that crystal sea,'' the " city of pearly gates," and the heavenly mansions. After the services were over Mr. Beecher went lo " the pulpit where stood an elegant bouquet of flowers and overturned it on the stage—roses, heliotrope, camelias—all rare and choice ; and so almost every one had some pure, beautiful souvenir of this communion season. Another of the services that I enjoyed more especially was the meeting of the theological and college students. Many told of the hopes and resolves that they had for the future. There was a manly spirit about the whole meeting. I find that theological students are not however vastly superior to college students ; not quite sober divines yet. After the closing services of the Board, there were so many Hawaiians present that we were determined to have a meeting. I managed to get ;i note to the Secretary on the stage, but he read the notice in so low a tone that only a few were able to hear it. Accordingly we posted ourselves at the different doors—Mr. Atherton, Charlie Cooke, Mary Cooke, Hattie Baldwin, myself, «?cc., and thus managed to get the Hawaiians together. Our party was, I assure you, of a very respectable size—over fifty I think in all. Such a very pleasant meeting as it was too ! Mr. and Mrs. Coan came in for a very hearty welcome, I can assure you. It fairly cheers one to look at their happy faces, where the " soul light " shines so brightly. Every one loves them wherever they go. Doctor and Sarah Coan were with them. I had met them both often, and felt quite well acquainted. They are both very cultivated— fond of books, music and painting. They have seen something of the world, and are desirous of seeing more. Then the Snows and Sturges' family were here from Micronesia, also Dr. and Mrs. Gulick, Oramel Gulick and wife, Emma Smith, of Kauai, Mrs. Capt. Gillet, Anna Paris, Mrs. Doanc, the Bissells and Snowdons, &c, &c. At home again. Here still I have some one to remind me of the Islands, for opposite me as 1 write sits Cornelius Bond, our old friend. I had been in my room but a short time after returning when he appeared. He was desirous of seeing something of the College, and came to spend a day or two. Dr. Gulick and his brother were here last week, and I acted as their cicerone over the cabinets. Mr. Snow comes next week. Good Time-Honored Practice.—For more than a quarter of a century it has been customary for persons interested in the gratuitous circulation of the Friend to aid in the way of donations. During the past year we have distributed gratis, among seamen and others, from three to five hundred, of each number. Donations for this year have amounted to t52, not one-half the actual cost of printing and paper. �THE 11.1 i: \ I). I» X I K>lU X X . ADVERTISEMENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. 111 1870. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Take another instance where the transgression is unmixed ambition, where it is not so mixed up with sensual indulgence as is Jezebel's. Take the man whom some of you would call the worst man described in the Bible, —the Herod who killed the infants in Bethlehem. Here is a sagacious man, a brave man, an admirable administrator, and one who out-intrigued the best intriguers of his day,—more than a match for Cleopatra, or Anthony, or Augustus. He stops at nothing. There is no bar he cannot spring over. Transgressor, indeed ! Appointed king, he had to storm the defences of his own capital, Jerusalem, so unpopular was he with the people. Very well,—he stormed them! The city taken, he deals with the Jewish council, the Sanhedrim. All but two had been opposed to him. So all but two are killed. The high-priest seems to be in opposition. He assassinates the high-priest. He is left at last without an enemy who dares show himself. He is at the height of prosperity and success. He loves, perhaps, no one but his wife; and he worships her. So his mother and his sister accuse her of falseness; and he, mad with jealousy, kills her. So with all who follow her. He marries whom h« will, divorces whom he will, kills whom the will. Two sons she leaves him, noble men, loved by everybody, even by him. So distinguished are they, that they win the jealousy of his brother and sister. fa an Eastern Coort, it is easy to accuse ; and the father, convinced too readily of their Bjoirt, tries the**, .and executes them.

As for future punishment of transgression, he knows as little of that as ever. But the way of the transgressor is hard now; and he knows that, as he rides upon it. THE SAVIOUR'S STATEMENT. In the face of half the theologians, we are to observe that this is the view steadily of the New Testament. Jesus is called a Saviour because he saves people from their sins, not from the consequences of their sins. The kingdom of his heaven is at hand, not. at a distance. To those to whom he gives it, he gives it now, not in the future. The sons of man, the daughters of man, are, in his view, God's immortal children, detailed here for such part of God's service as on this earth can be carried through. Do they transgress ? Do they break bounds ? Do they disobey ? Do they insist on wasting the period of their service here, in blunting their weapons, in straining and twisting their bodies, in imitating beasts? Such garrison follies destroy those who commit them. They become mean by degrees, and miserably less. Little need, indeed, of pictures of future punishment to terrify them from such folly. The folly is its own punishment, as, from day to day, their lires ebb out of them. Placed here to grow strong, they do grow weak. Placed" here to succeed, they find failure every hour. Little matter, indeed, for them, when they leave God's road, and for themselves hew out a new one, to ask whether this track will be cut short by bog or by jungle or by pitfall or by ocean. Little matter now ; for while they are hacking at it, and wading and staggering and PASSION IS LAWLESS. falling, it is clear enough taat the way of the To say that it is hard for a locomotive en- transgressor is hard to-day. gine to leave its track, and run across,—or, in Latin, to transgress,—where no track has (C7"The regular meeting ol the Associabeen made for it, seems clear enough.

Getting orders Iron! Koine that he may do his will with his son Antipater, he orders him executed, and then he dies. That is Herod the Great,—a successful transgressor, if to succeed is always to have one's own way. Now, I do not ask whether his conscience smote him or nut. 1 have no idea that, when Herod's life ended, he had much conscience left him. I have nothing to suy about remorse. I do not see that remorse plays a large part in suidi lives ; though I know that when it docs cut, it cuts deep. I only ask, if this way of his, which was his own way, seems to anybody a smooth way, a simple way, a way which would attract or seduce one, even if he could keep out of sight its end. Is it not from the very beginning a hard way ? Is it not clear that one of these murders compelled another? Is it not clear that this passionate ferocity grew with what it fed upon ? We are pleased to say that, in the close of his life, Herod was insane. We say the same thing of Nero, of Claudius, of Caligula. I suppose it is true. But what does that word " insane " mean in such lives but this ?—that where a man is cursed by the opportunity to transgress indefinitely, where he can gratify all his passions,—or, as we say, can have all his own way,—that then the brain gives way as every other organ fails, that he cannot think any more accurately than he can walk, or than he can strike. Passion destroys manhood. That is what we mean when we say he has gone mad. Or, in the language of the text, we mean thatthe way of the transgressor is hard.

The traveler in Egypt lives in the ages of the past. The obelisks, the temples and the pyramids speak to him of a time not measured by modern, chronology. The Nile, with all its ancient associations from the time of Moses to the time of Cleopatra, and even to the time when Napoleon fought the battle of the Pyramids, still lives in the present, with its annual inundations making fruitful the beautiful valley, hut almost everything else is clouded in mystery. It was a beautiful morning in December, when we left Cairo for the purpose of visiting the temples of Sakkara, and the pyramids of Ghiaeh. We crossed the sacred river of the Nile, and soon found ourselves on the sandy desert,—the desert, so quiet, so calm, so emblematical of rest. When these temples and pyramids were built, we do not believe there was any desert here. It was a fruitful part of the great Nile valley, but the sands for ages have been driven here from the Nubian desert, and have made waste places, where once were green pastures and fruitful fields. The night on the desert was passed in our comfortable tent, but we could hear the whispering of the wind, and there were voices ot the past, speaking with no doubtful sound. During the afternoon we had been wandering among the temples and tombs of Sakkara, the site of the ancient Memphis; and magnificent these temples and tombs were—broad, deep and long, almost buried in the sand, the walls stijl showing the pictured hieroglyphics so common in Egyptian temples. The colors were bright, and looked ai if they had been made a few days ago. How these huge masses of stone were ever brought here, sod so finely cut and fitted one to the other, we could not understand. The ancient Egyptians had some power of locomotion that we moderns are ignorant of. We went into one temple tomb, where there were thirty-two immense stone sarcophagi and monoliths—empty now, but once containing either the sacred bulk, o-r perhaps the bodies of the ancient kings. The temples are supposed to be- of the same age a* �2 111 X 11.1 I: N I). J A HI(A IV , 18 11. the pyramids, and they were as much a marvel to old Herodotus as they are to us. After that night in the desert aiming those temples and tombs, we rode over to the pyramids of Cheops and Cephrenes, called the great pyramids. The desert is here again, but the sand hits not buried the pyramids and the sphinx, as it hns the temples and tombs of Sakkara. No date can with certainty lie determined for the building of the pyramids. There they stand as they did three or four thousand years ago, as great u mystery to M as they were to the oldest known historians. The largest pyramid, that of Cheops, covers eleven ncres, measuring 82--110,000 solid feet, and weighs 6,316,000 tons. The height is four hundred and eighty feet. We nscended this hitler pyramid, assisted by two sturdy Egyptians. The ascent was toilsome and somewhat difficult, owing to the height of the steps. From the top the view is grand. The Nile stretches far in a silvery thread through the green valley, the desert skirting the valley. We were in a vnst solitude, a sandy waste. We could see the sphinx gazing with prophetic eye at the Nile. The sphinx has a beautiful face, calm and resolute, though somewhat defaced, with the body of a lion nnd the head of a woman,emblematical of wjsdom and Strength. Here on top of the pyramids, for thousands of years, the names of pilgrims have been cut in the solid rock. Time seems to have no influence over the pyramids. From age to age they appear the same. Man, if he had had the power, would have destroyed them, but they are too vast to be removed by the hand of man. They defy the assaults of time. We entered the inner chamber of the great pyramid. There was a large sarcophagus, once conmining the body of the king in whose honor the pyramid was probably built. It is an immense stone cut from the solid rock, hollowed out in fine proportions and beautifully polished. A Lord Elgin, if possible, would have removed it from its ancient base, but it is too vast and too massive ever to be removed, at least in our time. How were these great stones cut from the quarries ? Obelisks ninety feet long and statues forty feet high were cut from the solid rock by the ancient Egyptians. It is only lately the probable discovery has been made. A recent writer has remarked, that the blocks of stone selected for these monuments were not chance splinters from barbarous efforts of splitting and smashing, but clean slices separated from the native rock, after being selected and accurately defined. And how was this done? By driving in huge iron wedges? No indeed ; that would probably have split — the stone. By infinite labor in chiseling and sawing? No; the ancient Egyptians knew better than that. They cut a small groove along the whole length of say one hundred feet, and in this inserted a number of wooden wedges. Then they poured water into the groove, and the wedges expanding simultaneously and with great force, broke away the huge fragment, as neatly as a strip of glass is taken off by a diamond. Cairo is a fair type of an Oriental city. The people are mostly Mohammedans, although the Copts, who are believed to be the descendants of theancient Egyptians, form a large class of the population. They have a form of Chrisiianity, but that form seems lifeless and fruitless. The mosques are large, hut with no adornment in the interior. Daily from the minareis of the mosques the voice ol tin; muezzin is heard : There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet." The streets arc narrow, except in the modern part of the rity, where theKhedive is endeavoring to imitate Paris in the erection of long boulevards. We visited the Koyal Mosque, which was magnificent, with its marble and alabaster. The population of the city is estimated at five hundred thousand, but a more wretched, ignorant and degraded population it would I* difficult to find. Modern civilization makes little impress on the people. The town of Boulnc is the port of Cairo on the Nile, and lies about a mile from the city. Here the Khedive is forming n museum of Egyptian antiquities. It is a very valuable and extensive one now, probably the largest in the world, although the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum contain a noble collection. It was pleasant to wander through those galleries of Boulac. Here were rich antique jewels, that the daughters of the Pharaohs may once have worn. Here were statues and busts, perchance of the Shepherd Kings. Here was mortality in the shape of the skin and bones of royal mummies, all wrapi in perfumed cerements, which we trust may yet put on the robe of immortality. Their bodies have not yet crumbled to dust, for the nsphaltum has thus far preserved their withered forms. We prefer the quiet grave to the stately mummy for our resting place in this world. " Nokohama Mungero, one of the Japanese Envoys to Europe. From a New Bedford paper, as well as from a letter from Capt. Whitfield, we learn that seven Japanese have arrived in the United States, en route for Europe, who have been sent by the Japanese Government upon a tour of inspection relative to the war now raging. Respecting one of these Envoys a remarkable story may be told, confirming the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." Our part of the story shall commence with his arrival in Honolulu in the fall of 1850, just twenty years ago. He then came from the mines of California, and deposited with us about $75, stating that he was desirous of returning to Japan. We listened to his plan of an expedition with no small amount of incredulity, intimating that he would be executed if he returned to his native land ; but so earnest was he, that we gathered about $100 from a few of the foreign residents of Honolulu, to add to the money already in hand, for the purpose of buying a whaleboat and outfit. This was done, but a few more fixtures were needed, and the following appeal was inserted in the Polynesian of December 14th, 1860: for Japan.—The public is " Expedition aware thatfrom time to time wrecked Japanese have been brought to the Sandwich Islands. There are now three who were brought hither by Capt. W. H. Whitfield in 1841. One of them, John Mung, accompanied Capt. W. to the United States, where he was educated in a gootl common school, besides hav- ing acquired the cooper's trade. •' He has returned to the Islands, and here finds his former shipmates, two of whom propose to accompany him, and, if possible, return to Japan. He has purchased a good whaleboat and outfit, Capt. Whitmore, of the American ship Sarah Boyd, having kindly offered to leave them somewhere oil' the Loochoo Islands, and from thence they hope to make their tray to ,/n/nni. To complete the outfit is wanted— <t 00inpam,a yood foirliny-jdece, a fete articles of cloth toy, shoes, ami a nautical alimtian: for 1850. Will not some benevolent person aid forward the enterprise. The subscriber will be responsible for the safe delivery of the articles referred to. S. C. Damon." The Sarah Jioyd sailed on the 17th, but before sailing, the United States Consul, Judge Allen, at our request furnished Mungero with a duly certified document of American citizenship, well supplied with " seals." Capt. Whitmore reported on his arrival at Shanghae that he launched the boat and his three Japanese passengers off the Loochoo Islands. The original account of the expedition will be found in the Friend of January Ist, 1&51. Ten years passed before we were able to obtain a single item of information respecting Mungero, although we made most diligent inquiry of several officers attached to - Perry's United States Exploring Expedition. On the 17th of May, 1860, the Japanese steamer Kandiaaiarrah arrived in Honolulu, having our old friend Mungero on board as interpreter. Never were we more surprised. He appeared to us as one from the dead ! At our request he gave the fol lowing account of himself, which will be found in the Friend of June Ist, 1860. "In January, 1851, Capt. Whitmore, of the Sarah Jioyd, launched the boat 'Adventurer' from his deck ofTGreat Loochoo, wind blowing fresh from N. W., accompanied with hail. The ship was about five miles from land. After rowing hard for ten hours, we anchored near the land. Next morning I sent Denzo on shore, but he returned with a ' tear in his eye,' because he had forgotten his native language, and was unable to communicate with the people. We all went on shore, and I took a loaded pistol; we made signs to the people for water, and they conducted us to a pond ; we now boiled our coffee and ate some beef and pork, 'American fashion.' The people gave us some sweet potatoes and rice. As we could not speak to the people, we were conducted to a government office, about one mile off, where some rice was given us, in order to see if we could eat rice with tvi o chop-sticks ! We showed them that we knew how to handle the chopsticks,and this exploit settled the question of our nationality, for we were pronounced Japanese! ".A messenger was then dispatched to a city about ten miles off, and after some bantering and threats, we were taken under the - �3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1671. care of the King of Loochoo, who treated us very kindly. We sjient six months in Loochoo, when we were conveyed in a junk to the island of Kiusiu.near the southern point of the island ; we were there taken under the care of the Prince of Thiztumar; we remained at this place forty-eight days. The Prince made very many inquiries respecting America and American people, and our treatment. This prince has great influence ; he treated me with much kindness. " We were then removed to Nangasaki, where we were joined by five more shipwrecked Japanese sailors, who had been forwarded from Honolulu to their own country via China. At Nangasaki we were detained thirty months, not however being confined to a close prison, but allowed large liberties. At the end of two and a half years, we were allowed to proceed to our homes, and, so far as I know, all my companions safely reached their homes, and were welcomed by their and progress of which he is most ardently devoted. His love lor Japan is great." During the last ten years we have occasionally heard from the hf.ro of our story, but surely we never expected to learn that we should have the pleasure of recording the fact that his government had honored him with the appointment of an Envoy to Europe, to inspect the warlike operations of the Prussians and the French. We hope on his return to Japan, he may take Honolulu in his route.

Recent papers and private letters announce the death of General Williams, of Norwich, Ct., at the advanced age of 82 years. Few men in New England of the generation now passing away, have occupied so high a place in the love and esteem of the friends of education, domestic and foreign missions, and public charities, as this gentleman, lie, was truly a Christiiin ycntlonan. In his own neighborhood he was associated with every good and philanthropic enterprise. The interests of the Mohegan Mission, common schools and the Norwich Free Academy occupied his constant thoughts, while he was scrupulously punctual to his duties ss a bank officer and citizen. His sympathies were not narrowed down to his own church or neighborhood, but his thoughts went abroad with missionaries in Asia Minor, China, India, and the islands of the sea. Long will his friends, acquaintances and guests remember his generous hospitality, genial kindness and princely beneficence. Our young College at Punahou is indebted to him for a part of its endowment. The death of such men recall the words of the Revelator John : "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth ; yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Many thanks to the several writers who have communicated their thoughts and reflections for the readers of the Friend. We are glad to have another pen describe scenes in the Old World. The communication respecting Egypt will be read with interest. In conversation a few days since with a gentleman associated with the judiciary of this kingdom, the subject of Chinese testimony came up for discussion. We requested him to pen a few thoughts upon the subject. The importance of this will readily appear, when a person for one moment reflects upon the absurdity of "swearing" a Chinaman believing in Buddism upon the Bible. But how shall it be done? Shall a Christian court administer a heathen oath ? That's the question." " �4 THE FRIEND, JANI! i R I. Is 7I. THE FRIEND. JANUARY 1. IS7I. Loss of the U. S.S. "Saginaw." It is our painful duty to record the loss of the United States steamer Haginaw on the morning of Saturday, October 29th, on Ocean Island, one of the numerous small and barren sand islets which comprise the chain beginning at French Frigate Shoals and extending some twelve to fourteen hundred miles across the oceitn. This island ,is about N. N. W. from Midway Island, being in about 28° 20' N., and 178° 10' W. We are unable to leati the precise circumstances under which the vessel went ashore. She left Midway Island on the 29th of October, and the next morning at two o'clock and forty-five minutes, went ashore on Ocean Island. Very few provisions were saved from the ship, although she did not entirely go to pieces until the morning of the 14th of November, when the after part, which had held together till then, went to pieces. On the 18th of November, Lieutenant Talbot, the executive officer, and four of the crew, namely: Peter Francis, quarter-master, tion of it was spoiled by the salt water nnd was thrown overboard. This misfortune made it necessary lor the ciew to put themselves on still shorter rations, causing great suffering. At the time of (he arrival of the boat off Kauai, there were no provisions lelt except a few spoonsful of a preparation of potatoes, which was mixed with water and eaten by the almost famished crew. Fortunately, the supply of water held out, there being some sixteen gillons left. After the boat capsized in the surf, William Halford clung to the boat lor some time, when he saw James Muir still in the boat (Lieutenant Talbot, Peter Francis and John Andrews having been washed overboard), in n state of stupor. Halford made him fast to the deck, and taking a tin box containing papers and despatches, went on shore, the boat having in the meantime been thrown into shoal water by the surf. Returning to the boat he took the chronometer ashore, and again returning, took his exhausted companion and carried him safely to land, making a bed for him as best he could from the few old clothes he could get from the boat. He then removed everything movable from the boat, having been obliged in doing so, to wade through the surf five times, showing the most heroic fortitude, as our readers will appreciate, when they reflect that he had been exposed for so many days in the boat upon merely enough food to sustain life, besides having boen further exhausted in his efforts to keep hold of the boat during the time she Was in the surf. News arrived in Honolulu of the disaster on Saturday, when steps were immediately taken to send relief to the wrecked people on Ocean Island. The schooner Kona Packet was despatched on Saturday evening with provisions nnd water by the American Minister Resident. On Monday, owing to the uncertain state of the weather, and the probability that the schooner might be it long time in reaching the island. His Excellency requested this Government that the steamer Kilaaea might be despatched on ihe mission. The steamer was promptly placed at his disposal, and the proper quantity of coals for the voyage and provisions having been placed on board, she sailed at half-past five o'clock on Monday evening. It is to be hoped that she will make a quick passage, as the wrecked crew—some ninety in number—were placed at once, after the disaster, on quarter rations, and require aid as soon as it can be rendered then.— Gazette. James Muir, John Andrews, and William Halford, coxswain, all of whom had volunteered for the expediiion, left the island in the ship's gig with the hope of reaching these islands to obtain assistance. The boat experienced very heavy weatner, having been obliged to "heave-to" in three severe gales, and losing all the oars that were on board. After incredible suffering, the crew in the boit sighted Kauai on the 18th of December, having been at sea in a small boat for thirty days, all of them being quite exhausted from long exposure and the hardships suffered during their perilous voyage of over one thousand miles. After sighting the land, the wind shifted to the N. W., with heavy rain squalls, during which the boat was drifted away from the land. With great effort, she was beat up again on the night of the 19th. Unfortunately, in approaching the shore near Hanalei, the boat got into the breakers and was capsized—the crew being so weak and exhausted that they could do but little to direct her course. Lieutenant Talbot and two men were drowned. Halford, the survivor, succeeded in getting one of his comrades on shore, but he was so far gone that he died in a short time. On the same day the bodies of Lieutenant Talbot and one of the seamen washed ashore, and were taken charge of by Mr. Bindt, manager To the published account of the wreck of the Hanalei Plantation. They were buried of the Sayinaw, we would add that all the the next day at Hanalei, together with the laborers and the contractor engaged in clearman who had died on shore.

We learn Halford, sole survivor. a ticulars from the large poring the heavy gales experienced, Visit to Sweden. I enjoyed myself much while at home in Sweden. Found all my relatives well, but many changes had taken place since I was last there. Friends and acquaintances were missing; some had gone to their long homes, others were scattered to different portions of the earth. In manyways Sweden has passed through great changes since my boyhood days. The introductions of railroads has made a marked change in the commercial interests of tne country. Gotheburg is now the largest shipping port, from which to the east coast of England, somewhere about twenty steamers are engaged in the transportation of freight and passengers, all of them between 500 and 1,000 tons burden. Like other parts of the world, steam is taking the place of sails in vessels. There has been much of a change also in the city of Gotheburg. It has been enlarged and remodeled. Several large churches have been erected, and fine public parks laid out. During my stay, water-pipes were being laid down to convey water all over the town. In the past it has been laborious and expensive to obtain water, there being only three places where it could be obtained, from whence it was carried to the different quarters of the city. I took pleasure in viewing the schools, and the new school system. When I was a boy there were but few free schools; now there are over one hundred. When a scholar has learnt all that is taught in a free school, he is ready to enter college, if he desires a higher education. But the greatest change I noticed was in the cause of vital religion. You are aware that the state and church were connected, and no other denomination than the Lutheran tolerated. Now all those old hindrances are gone. While I was in Gotheburg, the Methodists dedicated a fine place of worship. They have a congregation of about two hundred members, and I believe they are increasing. The Baptists have a fine hall, which was built by a person somewhat acquainted with you, whose name is G. Schroder. He was master of a ship sailing out of the States for many years. He married a daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Stewart, who for a long time was pastor of the Baptist Mariner's Church in the city of New York. Capt. Schroder became acquainted with you in Honolulu, while on a voyage from San A. Tingstkom. Francisco to China. Good Templars.—We rejoice to learn from various sources that this organization is vigorous, and accomplishing much good in Honolulu and at other localities on the islands where branches have been established.

The effect of Chinese customs, social nnd religious, upon the rules which have so long regulated the introduction of testimony in English and American courts of justice, presents a question of peculiar interest, which if we mistake not, will require the serious attention of legislator, as well as moralists. We do not refer to discriminations on account of race, once made by statutes in older countries, whereby certain classes were held incompetent to testily against "pure blooded whites," but merely to the forms of administering the oath to witnesses. The practice of swearing Chinese according to their own idolatrous forms has never been adopted here, but it is not many years since it prevailed elsewhere, if in fact it is yet out of date, and it was held to be the only safe mid legal mode. Every person, it is said, requires the oath to be administered in some form which is binding upon his own conscience; hence, because in China the ceremony is performed of breaking a saucer or cutting off a cock's head, in order that the witness may understand that a like fate awaits him if he testify lalsely, wiseacres in law have concluded that this mockery of religion must be set up in courts of civilized lands. The sure result of introducing such forms is not only to lend, in appearance if not in fact, the sanction of the law to heathen superstitions, but to defeat the object sought. The slightest deviation from their own usages, or the omission of the most trivial thing, may in the Chinese mind, remove all sanction of the proceeding, and allow license greater than would be taken with no attempt whatsoever to adopt these ceremonies. What is the object of administering an oath, and what additional assurance does it give ? Webster defines an oath to be, " A solemn affirmation or declaration, made with an appeal to God for the truth of what is affirmed. The appeal to God in an oath implies that the person imprecates His vengeance, and renounces His favor, if the declaration is false ; or, if the declaration is a promise, the person invokes the vengeance of God if he fails to fulfill it." Let us look at the nature and object of this solemn act. A person invokes God not only to witness his own truth and sincerity, but " to avenge his imposture or violated faiih." The invocation of God to witness, and the imprecation of vengeance on false testimony form the legal oath. The object in the mind of the person who takes the oath is that his own mind may be impressed with the importance of speaking deliberately and cautiously, and to inspire confidence in his truthfulness in the minds of others. The intention of the law which makes an oath a prerequisite to legal evidence is merely to obtain greater security of testimony, or that the promise made will be fulfilled. There are thoie whose word is us good as their bond," who " make no hasty statements of facts, especially matters in affecting their neighbors' interest, reputation or happiness. Their reverence for simple truth may be strengthened by no I). JANUARY, 1871. ouiwurd ceremony ; but neither judge nor citn be presumed to know when they have such persons as witnesses, hence the supposed necessity of this general rule. It is also certain that most men who recognize a Supreme Ruler of the Universe are more guarded in statements made under oath. We believe, however, lhat the correct view is, that the oath is lor the purpose of calling the witness' own thought! especially to the solemnity of his net, and is not merely to cull God to witness the act and to punish false testimony. Of the forms of administering an oath to Christians, kissing the book, usually a copy of the Gospels, or raising the right hand, are mo.-t common. The former custom is traced back, from the imitation of the priests in kitting the missal, to the customs of the Romans. The ancient Romans, Greeks anil Persians swore by the sun, by the gods, and their "genii," or presiding genius. Women swore by Juno, laborers by Ceres, who wns supposed to preside over harvests, Vestals by Vesta, &c. It the middle ages, oaths were taken on the altar, on relics and tombs of saints, and in many forms borrowed from the heathen, as on a beast's or idol's head, on warlike armor, on bracelets, or by the hair, eyes or face of a patron or friend, by laying hold of the hem of the garment or on the sepulchre of a debtor. The Jews swore on a chain fastened to the synagogue door. Roman Catholics in some of the United States were required to kiss the book, a ceremony not usual with New England Protestants. They often objected to this distinction, and it is now removed by act of legislature. This form is regarded as idolatrous by many Scotch Presbyterians. It was at one time, and may yet be, the custom in France to take an oath simply by declaration with uplifted hand, or with hand oo the breast, and by signing. This was held to be sufficient testimony in a Massachusetts case. The following forms have been adopted in courts, and decided by them to be correct, viz: for Jews, by swearing on the Pentateuch ; Mahommedans, on the Koran ; Chinese, by saucer breaking. Statutes give the effect of an oath to solemn affirmations by Quakers, Moravians and Separatists whose consciences will not allow them to take an oath. Now we ask, why should not the Legislature enact a law, that Chinese may testify on simple affirmation to tell the truth, " subject to all the pains nnd penalties of perjury if they testify falsely?" The difficulty must be evident to any person, on reflection, either in administering an oaih according to an idolatrous form, or in administering it in Christian form to a heathen ignorant of its meaning, and perhaps regarding it ns of no binding force on his conscience. We hope to sec the subject duly considered. jury For I he Friend. Who will Go to Heaven? How docs the Bible answer? Turn to Revelation 22:14 and read, "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through tbe gates into the city." Rend also the Saviour's words, Matthew 25:34-40 : " Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : for I was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink ; I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; naked, and ye clothed me ; I was sick, and ye visited me ; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Verily I gay unto you, Inasmuch as ye hare done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." WHO WILL FAIL OF HEAVEN ? the Let Bible answer. Read I. Corinthians 6:9, 10: "Be not deceived ; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." Ponder also the Saviour's words in Matthew 25:41-46: " Depart from me, ye cursed, into eveilasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels ; for I was hungry, and ye gave me no food ; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not; sick and in prison, and ye visited me not. * Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me." Those will go to heaven who believe in the Lord Jesus; who love him, and who manifest their love in doing good. * Modern Nation mentioned Bible.—ln Ezekiel 38:3 we read, " Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, behold I am against thee, Gog prince of Rosh, Meshek and Tubal." See also Ezekiel 38:2 and 39:1. This rendering is authorized by the Septuagint, the most ancient version of Russians the only in the the Old Testament, where 7iY>.>i is used, the very term used by the Byzantine writers of the tenth century to designate the Russians. It seems altogether probable that the Russians will occupy a much larger space in the world's history than heretofore, and any mention of them, or allusion to them in the Bible,cannot be without interest. Of Meshek, the Moschi, and Tubal, the Tibareni, scarce anything is known. Chas. R. Bishop, Treasurer, In Account Cusrent with the Honolulu Sailors' Home Society. 1870. DR.

KGVPT —THE SUEZ CANAL—PORT SAID—JAFFA. Egypt is waking up from the sleep of centuries. Steamboats ascend the Nile. The electric telegraph stretches along its banks. The whistle of the steam-engine is heard in the midst of the deserts. The Suez Canal \ unites once more the waters of the Mediterranean with the Red Sea. We say once more, for three thousand years ago there was a canal through that silent waste of desert; and even as late as the battle of Actium, the Egyptian galleys sailed on to the Red Sea, which had recently ploughed the waves of the Mediterranean. Early in the morning of a beautiful December day we bid farewell to Cairo with its minarets shining in the sun, its sculptured sarcophagi made by hands that three thousand years ago crumbled to the dust, and are oil" for the railway station to take the train for Ismailia, the midway port on the Suez Canal, between Port Said on the Mediterranean, and Suez on the Red Sea. After a ride of six hours through the desert, we arrive at Lake Timseh. Ismalia has sprung up like magic from the desert, and where a few years ago there was nothing but a sandy waste, now fine buildings and streets and fountains and flowers show what may be done even by the humble hand of man. Through the energy of one man, Lesseps, the Suez Canal has been made a success. He thought of the ships from Europe creeping slowly along the coast of Africa, passing the Cape of Good Hope, and sailing slowly along the Indian Ocean to the East. He thought of the glory that France would receive, should this great undertaking be completed under her auspices; and after years of labor, when bold-hearted men would have given up the enterprise in despair, and when other nations looked coldly on and prophesied failure, Lesseps has united the Mediterranean with the vast waters of the Indian Ocean. The canal is one hundred miles long. The average width at the top is three hundred and twenty feet; at the bottom two hundred and forty-six feet, and the depth twenty-six feet.

" You have any partners, Ah Ying ? I " asked. " Oh, yes! I have partners. I got one partner dead ; my partner all same ; no different. I make all I can ; he have share. He have wife, children, home in China. Every year I look over rice, tea, flour, see how much make ; then send China, pay him, his wife, all he make. Suppose live, my partner ; dead, my partner all same." And this is the race that is unworthy citizenship, unworthy the protection of our laws; while Paddy from Cork flourishes his policeman's bludgeon over their heads, or legislates against them in our halls of state. But to return to Ah Ying ; he is the best judge of flour 1 ever met with ; that partner in China could not leave his interests in safer hands. 1 asked him, this very evening, how he acquired such a knowledge of that article. I give his explanation as he repeated it to us : " You know Mr. Davis, Golden Gate Mill ?—very good man. Igo work for him ; work all same coolie. I see wheat come in ; go in mill, come out flour, but very coarse. I go home, think; every night I think, think. By and by, see coarse put down other place, come out fine; by and by more fine. Go home night; more think. Speak Mr. Davis; he show me : he tell me every thing. Every night, I think; every day, I look the flour. Now you bring me flour, I tell you all about him one minute. I know how he made ; ah, yes ! I know him I work for it." Thus,study and work, with the assistance of a teacher, who, standing at the highest point in his calling, is proud to impart information, have made this man a competent judge of a staple in which he is now a large : dealer. With Ah Ying, we close these reminiscences of the Chinese merchants of San Francisco. Examples might be multiplied ; but it was only with a view of simply calling public attention to the recognition of such a class that we have stated the facts that have been given. A noble body of men, cultivated in manners, educated in mind, they have borne for many years the arrogance which power allied with ignorance always produces. In a city largely controlled by Irish influence, they have succeeded, by years of integrity, so marked as to win approval from even their enemies, in making the credit of their nation as merchants unimpeachable. To-day, they are trusted with thousands on personal security ; and it is a matter of pride with them that the Chinese houses, as a whole, stand higher in credit than the same number of mercantile firms selected at random from any other nationality.

It adds much to the interest, we take, in reading a hymn or poem, to learn the incident or circumstance which called it forth. Macaulay, in his review of Addison's life and writings, furnishes some most interesting statements respecting the origin of the familiar and oft-sung hymn printed in so many English and American hymn-books, commencing, " How are thy servants blest, 0 Lord ! " It appears that about the year 1700, Ad*> dison visited Italy, and while making the passage from Marseilles to Genoa, the master of the ship gave up all for lost, and confeased to a priest on board. How deep an impression this perilous voyage made upon the mind of the great English essayist and poet, we may learn from the perusal of this beautiful hymn, which has been sadly mutilated and cut short, as published in all of our hymn-books. We think our readers will be interested in seeing the ode or hymn in its original form, as printed in the Spectator, September 20ih, 1712. hi its original form, it will be seen to contain an allusion to the Alps, which he crossed at the Mt. Cenis Pass in December, and also to passing through " burning climes " and breathing " in tainted air," which refers to his residence at Room during the hot &nl sickly season. God was to Addison, as beautifully described by Macaulay, " the all-wise and all-powerful friend who had watched over his cradle with more than maternal tenderness ; * * who had rebuked the waves of the Ligurian gulf, had purified the autumnal air of the Campagna, and had restrained the avalanches of Mount Cenis." lire thy servants blest, 0 Lord !

" Of all objects that I have ever seen, there is none which affects my imagination so much as the sea, or ocean. I cunnot see the heavings of this prodigious bulk of waters, even in a calm, without a very pleasing astonishment ; but when it is worked up in a tempest, so that the horizon on every side is nothing but foaming billows and floating mountains, it is impossible to describe the agreeable horror that rises from such a prospect. A troubled ocean, to a man who sails upon it, is, I think, the biggest object that he can see in motion, and consequently gives his imagination one of the highest kinds of pleasure that can arise from greatness. I must confess it is impossible for me to survey this world of fluid matter without thinking on the hand that first poured it out, and made a proper channel for its reception. Such an object naturally raises in my thoughts the idea of an Almighty Being, and convinces me of his existence as much as a metaphysical demonstration. The imagination prompts the understanding, and, by the greatness of the sensible object, produces in it the idea of a being who is neither circumscribed by time nor space. As I have made several voyages upon the" sea, I have often been tossed in storms, and on that occasion have frequently reflected on the descriptions of them in ancient poets. I remember Longinus highly recommends one in Homer, because the pott has not amused himself with little fancies upon the occasion, as authors of an inferior genius, which he mentions, had done but because he has gathered those circumstances which are the most apt to terrify the imagination, and which really happen in the raging of a tempest. It is for the same reason that I prefer the following description of a ship in a storm, which the psalmist has made, before any other I have ever met with : ' They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters ; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he com inn nde th and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waters thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths, their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then they are glad, because they be quiet, so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.' " By the way, how much more comfortable, as well as rational, is this system of the psalmist, than the pagan scheme in Virgil and other poets, where one deity is represented as raising a storm, and another as laying it! Were we only to consider the sublime in this piece of poetry, what can be nobler than the idea it gives us of the Supreme Being thus raising tumult among the elements, and recovering them out of their confusion ; thus troubling and becalming p nature?" �12 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1871. north latitude 28 ° 13' und west longitude 177 ° to hack the engines, 2.".', distant from Honolulu about 1,1110 miles, tinued for about ten THE FKIEIND.

It was upon one of tTleee islands known us situated in latitude 28 ° 23' north and longitude 178 ° 30' west, Unit the United States steamer Saginaw went ashore on the morning of tbp 29th of October ItiHt, while on her way to San Francisco from Midway (formerly Brooke's} Island. There tier crew remained, having all fortunately reached the shore in safely, until the 3d of the present month, when they were rescued from their ball-starved and perilous situation by the timely arrival of the steamer Kilauta, which hud been promptly dispatched to their aid by the Hawaiian Government on the receipt of the news of the disaster at Honolulu. In the Hawaiian Spectator lor July, 1838, we find the following account of Ocean Island and the wreck of the Gledstancs, us furnished by the Ocean Island, master: . The Island, in Lat. 28 ° 23' N. and Long. 178 ° 30'"W. which I suppose to be Ocean Island, is about three miles in circumference. It is composed of broken coral and shells, and Is covered, near the shore, with low bushes. In the seasoß, it abounds with sea birds, and at times, there is a considerable number of hair-seals. There is always an abundance of fish, and in a great variety. The highest part of the island is not more than ten feet above the level of the sea. The only fresh water is what drains through the sand after the heavy rains. From the specimens of dead shells lying about the beach, there appears to be a great variety of shells." The Spectator says: The Oltditanet was wrecked on the 9th July, 1887,about midnight. Only one man was lost ; he jumped overboard, intoxicated. Capt. Brown remained on the island till the 16th Dec., when himself with bis chief mate and eight seaman sailed for the Sandwich Islands, in a schooner they had, with great toil, and perseverance and skill, constructed from fragments of the wreck. The other officers and men who remained several months longer, and endured great sufferings, were subsequently brought off by a vessel despatched for that purpose, by H. B. M.'s Consul at these Islands." Herewith we give a sketch of the island. Q marks the position where the Gletlstanes was wrecked, and S that of the Saginaw.

On her hist return from Honolulu, Captain Shard brought orders to the working party to discontinue operations, as the appropriation ($50,000) had been exhausted. After toiling laboriously and constantly, wlicncver the weather and health of the men permitted, under water and in boats and scows for six months, using largo quantities of powder and fuse, they had excavated a channel near the centre of the out about 15 feet wide and 450 feet in length, and the $50,000 was expended, and the work brought to a stop. At this rate the work will cost, when completed, at least the sum of $1,000,000! It is very much to bo doubted whether the United States Government will consent to the throwing away of any more money in the useless attempt to make an available harbor at Midway, after the experience of the past year. Having taken on board the working party and their materials on Friday, (traditionally unlucky day for sailors) the Saginaw left Midway Island We propose giving here a concise history of for San Francisco. It was determined, however, the ill-starred expedition, which has resulted so to visit Ocean Island, about 48 miles to the west, disastrously in the loss of four valuable lives and where it was possible that some vessel might have the squandering of a large amount of money. been wrecked.

Tbe order was given immediately rounded by the reef. Tnis was Ocean Island, to which the Saginaw had come in search of shipwrecked people, —and they were undoubtedly found, in the persons of hor own crew. At 5 o'clock P. M., word was passed to abandon the ship. All hands accordingly went on shore. The damaged provisions were spread out on awnings and such sails as could be got at. Much of the bread had been placed in bags, and the wash of the sea rushing through the holes in the ship's sides had reduced it to a mere pulp, such as to bo absolutely uneatnble, except to people in danger ofstarvation. The bread in boxes fared better, since it was kept in shape, and was not so thoroughly saturated. Much of the beef and pork was broken out of the barrels, and everything was adrift. Some chickens, turkeys and sheep that were saved, were turned loose ou the island. It was necessary to put all hands—93 souls—at once on short allowance, for it was uncertain what supplies the island might afford, and a long period might elapse before they were relieved. After the frugal supper, those who were fortunate enough to have saved tobacco, divided, and after a smoke, as cheerfully as thecircumstances would allow all Bettled their wearied bodies among the bushes, to sleep, or to ponder over the events of tho day and to speculate on the prospects ahead. It was in truth, a remarkable shipwreck. The night had been clear starlight, with a moderate breeze. The ship was heading direct for an island whose position and distance—and that a short one—were known, approximately if not precisely. She was making not over two and a half to three knots, yet she ran directly, without any particular lack of vigilance, on a reef which was above water, and on which the breakers were dashing furiously. On the 18th November, the Captain's gig, which had been raised upon, decked, and thoroughly fitted for the purpose, sailed from the inland for Honolulu for assistance, with a crew of four men under the command of the executive officer of the ship, the lamented Lieutenant Talbot. In our issue of January 4th, we printed in full the account of the voyage of 1,100 miles in that small boat, which ended so disastrously to four out of the five who left the island in her. After her departure, the work was vigorously carried on of building a boat in which to visit Midway, to be forty feet long. At length, on the afternoon of the 3d of January, the carpenter, at work on the large boat (ho was encouraged to work by double, i. e., half rations) raised his head to wipe the perspiration from hie face, when he saw a black smoke in the offing! Hardly daring to trust his eyes, he stooped again to his work, but with a beating heart. Soon looking again to seaward, he felt sure that what he saw was the smoke of a �13 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1871. steamer, and then he shouted. In an instant, the camp was in commotion.

" ; Bff""*? ; �14 aSbth Joppa. THE I lIIK.Mi, FEBRUARY, 1871. Extracts of a Letter from Rev. T. Coan. Our traveling companion has furnished an interesting sketch of our departure from Egypt and arrival at Joppa. We proceeded immediately to Jerusalem, and returning to Joppa, there spent the first Sabbath of 1870. We attended at the English-German mission premises, divine service in the morning, when the service was read by a German clergyman connected with the mission of Bishop Gobat. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Frazcr, a Scottish Presbyterian clergyman, who is a Professor in the Syrian College at Beirut. In ihe evening a social religious meeting was held at the residence of the American Vice-Consul. The mother of the Consul, Mrs. Hay, and her sister, Miss M. B. Baldwin, we found excellent Christian ladies, who were then forming their plans for opening a school for Syrian boys and girls. A school for girls was in existence within the walls of the city, kept by a Miss Arnott, a Scottish lady. We are glad to learn from ihe following Appeal, published in the New York Observer of December 22d, that they have been successful in their plans of organization, and now only require the necessary funds to do much good. We can say, in the language of Paul in his epistle to the Philippians, " Help those women." They are worthy of aid. The Bethel Sabbath-school has sent its mite. Miss Baldwin was formerly attached to the school of Mrs. Hill at Athens, Greece. •« Orphanage at Joppa.—Mr. John B. Hay, United States Vice-Consul at Joppa, whom travelers in Syria will remember with great pleasure as the accomplished and attentive Acting Consul at Jerusalem during the last year, is now in this country making preparations to occupy a new official position in Syria, to which he has just been appointed. During his stay, he is seeking to raise funds for the better establishment of the school and an orphanage in connection with the Protestant Mission at Joppa. The Mission comprises a school for boys, under the direction of Miss M. B. Baldwin, assisted by native teachers, with sixty-five scholais; and a school for girls, under the direction of Miss J. Arnott, assisted by native teachers, with seventy scholars. It is proposed to establish an orphanage for boys and girls, under the direction of Mrs. Hay, Miss Arnott, and Miss Baldwin. This is the only Protestant Mission in a district numbering fifteen thousand inhabitants. We have no doubt that many of the friends of missions will take great pleasure in contributing to the maintenance of this Mission, and it will commend itself with peculiar force to those who have tarried at Joppa and seen there the need of such labor for the education of its inhabitants. Contributions may be sent to Mr. John B. Hay, 19 Bible House, New York city. Mr. Hay refers to the following among other gentlemen who endorse the enterprise : Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., Rev. S. D. Denison, D* D., Rev. E. D. G. Prim, D. D., Rev. S. H. Tyng, D. D., and Rev. Dr. J. Cotton Smith." It is cold, and yet with warm hearers, warm hearts, and cordial hospitalities, we have had a good Christmas. We do long for the dear friends of the Islands, and for the beauty and balm of the " Emerald Bower." We hope to be with our tropical friends in April. We had a pleasant reception by the Hawaiian Club at tbe United States Hotel in Boston. About sixty were present, —a most precious re-union with friends. I cannot tell you all the places we have visited, and all the dear friends we have seen. To-day Igo to Newark, to talk in the evening about volcanoes and earthquakes ; to-morrow evening ; on the 29th back to I speak at M Boston, to speak three times on the Sabbath. On Monday to Newburyport, thence to Albany, and again to Philadelphia j then to Delaware and Washington. From thence we hope to go to West Missouri, then across the Plains, " over the hills, and far awuy," to the Isles, once afar off, hut now brought nigh by a thousand bands of grace and love Were I to express the master feeling of my heart in regard to our country, 1 would say, Expansion —Expansion in territory, in population, in wealth, in institutions, in improvements, in luxuries, in intellectual pow ers, in business energies, irj all the vital forces and activities of life. I speak wiih less assurance as to morals, and the growth of spiritual life, though a vast amount of well directed thought and heart and toil flows in this direction. In all things, ours is a great nation—a nation of matchless growth and marvelous power. The grett American heart beats from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the St. Lawrence to the Southern gulf; or, in Bible language, " From sea to sea, and from the river to tbe ends of the earth." In all things the nation is becoming gigantic in its proportions. May it not be left of the Lord to commit national suicide. " Happy is that people whose God is the Lord." I have met numerous large bodiesof clergymen in our cities, and made the acquaintance of many noble and excellent men. DEATH OF ALBERT BARNES. ChaplinStevwart. Rev. C. S. Stewart, D. D., late Chaplain in the United States navy, and long known to the Christian public, and beloved by all who knew him, died at Cooperstown, New York, on the 14th inst., aged 75 years. His life has been eventful, useful, honored and extended, and would furnish material for a biography of great interest and value. We might spenk of his eaily life in this city, of his entrance into the navy, of his devoting some years to missionary labor in the Sandwich Islands, of his subsequent wanderings over the world in Government vessels, of his correspondence with the New York Observer, of his devotion to his work as Chaplain at the Naval Hospital at Brooklyn, of his often attendance at the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting, of his deep spiritual piety, of his declining health, his sojourn at Clifton, and his final release at Cooperstown. He was a native of Flemington, New Jersey, and received his education at Princeton College. After his graduation, in 1815,he studied law and theology, and subsequently went to the Sandwich Islands as a missionary, returning in 1825. He published a journal of his residence there in 1828, which passed through six editions in America, and was re-published in England. He received the appointment of Chaplain in the navy in November, 1828, and made his first cruise to Brazil, Peru, and other South American countries, on board the Ylncennss, in 1829-30. He published an account of the cruise, which was received with great favor, and went through several editions both in this country and Great Britain. He also wrote a book on English and Irish society, which was published in 1834. He became editor of the Naval Afnt/iizine in 1836, und subsequently acted as Chaplain of several Navy Yards. His last cruise expired in 1862, after which he retired from the service. Connected by marriage with one of the oldest families in this city, a gentleman of high culture and of the most refined and delicate sensibilities, he maintained through life and in all associations the most complete consistency of Christian character, and to the roughest sons of the ocean he made himself accessible as a brother and friend.—N.

Power of the Bible. Father Hyacinthe, in a sermon preached and printed more than a year ago, expressed the following sentiments in regard to the value of the Bible to a nation giving it free circulation and adhering to its principles : " Do you know why Prussia triumphed in the field of battle (with Austria?)? It was not because there was a lack of bravery on either side ; it was not the effect of that wondrous weapon, for the acquisition of which men are now so eager ; but it was because the assailant was better educated than the assailed, and had a superior religious training ; it was because every Prussian soldier had a Bible in his cap or helmet. In other places I have asserted, and I assert again here, that that which constitutes the strength of the Protestant nation is that when the people come home from their work they enter the family circle, and, sitting by their hearths, read the Bible and their national poetry. We [France] are behindhand with Protestant nations, and especially those who dwell beyond the Atlantic and the Straits of Dover. Twice have I trodden English soil; and I have come to the conviction that the strength of that country is from the Bible." Bound for the North Pole.—Capt. Hall, the Arctic explorer, in his lecture at Brooklyn last night, said he should start on his third trip about the first of May, and will never cease his labors until he has put his foot upon the 90th parallel of north latitude. He will go first to Newfoundland and stay for about a week to obtain some sealers to make up his party ; from thence he will proceed to the western coast of Greenland to procure some skins and a supply of stock fish. From Greenland he will cross Davis' Straits and obtain dogs of the Esquimaux, then cross Baffin's Bay to Smith's Island, thence westward through Jones' Sound and go to the north as far as possible before winter sets in. His sailing master has spent twenty years in the arctic regions, and his first and second officers ten years. If he cannot reach the North Pole in 1872, he will stay another year, or, if necessary, five years. A foreign correspondent of the Times, alluding to the age of the Prussian King, who is past seventy, gives the account of the family complications of the Crown Prince : " Frederick William is married to a sister of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who in due course of time will occupy the throne of England. The Princess of Wales, future Queen of England, is a sister to the heir presumptive of the crown of Denmark. A second sister will hereafter appear as Empress of Russia, while a brother occupies the throne of Greece. Thus the sovereigns of England, Russia, Prussia, Denmark and Greece will form, at no distant period, a nice little family circle, and the party would have received an important addition by placing on the Spanish throne Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, closely connected with the Prussian dynasty, a brother to the reigning Prince of Ronmania, and at the same time brother-in-law to the King of Portugal and the King of the Belgians." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

News was received a few days since, in a letter written by the Rev. S. G. Whitmee, a missionary of the London Missionary Society in Sydney, giving the information that Samoan missionaries under the Loudon Missionary Society, had been placed on two of the southern islands of the Gilbert Group. In order to understand the facts in the case, it must lie remembered that sonic of these are north and some south of the line, as follows : Makin mil Butaritari (I'iift.

No accurate census of the whole group has been taken.

The Knights of St. John—arc not their deeds of prowess pictured in glowing language in all the histories that treat of the attempted conquests of the Crusaders f For months they defended the city against the attacks of the Saracens. History shows no deeds of greater valor than were performed by those Knights of Rhodes. As we walked the silent streets, we were carried back to the time when Solynmn the Magnificent attacked the city with a fleet of four hundred ships, and an army of one hundred and forty thousand men. Day after day the city was gallantly defended, but at last the Grand Master, overpowered by numbers, was obliged to give up the city, and from that time to this the Turks have held possession. Picsi-oit states lhat for six months the brave Knights with their own good swords, iinnideil by a single European power, withstood the whole array of the Ottoman Empire, and when at length compelled to surrender, they obtained such honorable terms from Solyman, as showed he knew how to respect valor, though in a Christian foe. The coats of arms of the Knights from England, France and Germany, und from every Christian country of Europe, still remain engraved on the houses, and it is to the credit of the Turks that they have allowed them to remain. There is one street remaining as the Knights left it, now uninhabited, and it was with a melancholy interest that we walked through that deserted street with its knightly symbols—the only things remaining in Rhodes, except the walls of the city, to remind us of its once glorious defenders. Death of Dean Alford. Late English papers announce the death of this distinguished Biblical scholar. He was Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. His edition of the Greek Testament was an invaluable contribution to sacred learning. We have now lying on our table his " New Testament for English Readers, with a Critical and Explanatory Commentary," in four volumes. In concluding his remarks upon the Book of Revelations, he thus modestly writes: " This, my labor of now four and twenty years, is herewith completed. Ido it with humble thankfulness, but with a sense of utter weakness before the power of His word, and inability to sound the depths even of its simplest sentence." (1866.) If one of the best scholars in England and most learned men of the age could thus write when laying down his pen, after a life-study of the Bible, how utterly contemptible those flippant persons appear, who without much reading of the Bible, even in the English language, presume to pass a judgment upon the sacred volume. Dean Alford's remarks remind us of the words of the late Mr. Barnes of America, in reviewing forty " nearly years "of continued study of the Bible. See his preface to the Book of Psalms. , IS7 I.

Mr. Nobbs, pastor of Norfolk Island. He is directly from that part of the world, and hns furnished us with much interesting information respecting the descendants of the "old Pitcairners," now living on both Pitcnirn's and Norfolk islands. On Pitcairn's there are 60 inhabitants, and among them Betsy Young, a daughter of John Adams, the venerable old patriarch, under whose instruction the Pitcairners were really trained in the fear and nurture of God. On Norfolk Island there are 325 inhabitants ; hence the total number, about 385 now living, who have descended from the Pitcairners of the Bouvty. They are under the Colonial Government of New South Wales, but are allowed to govern themselves much after their own views. The Rev. Mr. Nobbs still continues in his old age to officiate as pastor and physician. He is truly a patriarch among them, having 10 living children, and about 50 grand-children. Of the second generation of "old Pitcairners," there are now living on Norfolk Island, Arthur Quintal, George Adams, and Rachel Evans— the latter a daughter of John Adams, above alluded to. Bishop Patterson, the English missionary Bishop of Melanesia, is also living upon Norfolk Island. He received the grant of 1,000 acres of land for a mission school. He has established a school, which now contains 140 pupils, gathered from New Hebrides, Solomon and Banks' islands. Once every year he visits those islands, taking teachers, who have been educated in his school. The missionary vessel Southern Cross is under his direction. The present prospects of the mission are quite prosperous. From all we can learn, Norfolk Island is a beautiful spot—a gem of the South Seas. It is about 21 miles in circumference, and admirably diversified with wood-land and cultivated fields, being well watered aitd advantageously situated for the supply of whaleships cruising in that part of the ocean.

There is not only a unity of race, but a unity in the desires, thoughts and aspirations of all men. He who would truly understand what is in man, or mankind at large, must study not only human nature as manifested in one part of the world and in one nation, but he must study the peoples of all lands nnd all ages. In order to do this, we see the importance of studying carefully the influence of those old Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Arisiotle, whose thoughts and teachings have exerted such a controlling influence upon the world. Not long since we read with intense interest Draper's " Intellectual Development of Europe," in which the reader's attention was directed to influence of the Grecian poets, mathematicians and philosophers upon the condition of knowledge as it now appears in Europe and America. Now we have another work upon a somewhat kindred subject, " Christianity and Greek Philosophy," while another of close relationship, Tyler's " Theology of the Greek Poets," is lying on our table. All these works take us back to Greece, and make us realize that there may be much of truth in the somewhat strong language of R. W. Emerson, when he says, in remarking upon books, in " Society and Solitude : " " Of Plato I hesitate to speak, lest there should be no end. •* * * He contains the future, as he came out of the past. In Plato, you explore modern Europe in its causes and seed, all that in thought, which the history of Europe embodies or has yet to embody. The well-informed man finds himself anticipated. Plato is up with him. Nothing has escaped him." Alas, we fear the world is not much wiser than it was two or three thousand years ago. It may know a little more about chemistry, geology and astronomy, but that is about all. Even long ere Grecian and Roman supremacy lived those old Egyptians. They knew many things respecting which the world is now ignorant. We are reading Dr. Cocker's book with much interest, and although not coinciding with all his reasoning, we still find *: u mi- Loss of the Bark "Dashing Wave."

London Yates & Alexander, Publishers. : For sixteen yours (1838-1854) the author of this volume was a missionary of the London Missionary Society on the Island of Rarotonga. During his sojourn in the South Seas, he visited various neighboring islands and gathered abundant materials for a most interesting volume, with the above title. It is now just fifty years since native missionaries from Tahiti first introduced Christianity into the Hervey Group, of which Rarotonga is one of the principal islands. This volume contains interesting sketches of not only the Hervey Group, but also several islands in what is called Western Polynesia, namely : Aneityum. Tana, Fotuna, Eronianga (where Rev. J. Williams was killed), Fate, Mare, Lifu, New Caledonia, and other islands. English missionaries who have labored under the patronage of the London Missionary Society have issued several most interesting volumes, illustrative of missionary life, including «he following "Turner's Nineteen Years' Residence in Polynesia ; " " Buzecott's Mission Life ; " " Murray's Missions in Western Polynesia," and several others which we could mention. Persons desirous of reading works relating to Polynesia, can take up no more interesting books. The volume now noliced, " Gems," &c, is for sale at Thrum's book-store. : Island: a brief account of the Island of Nine, and of the Work of tbe Gospel among its People. By Rev. Thomas Powell, F. L.

Tbe bark JJusking ll'uve, a successful China tea clipper, is down as mining in the Sydney Mtrnlug Hriulil. Cuptaiu Vandervord was tbe master ot the vessel, and Irom him we learn the following particulars i—lie left Koochow on July '2.) bound for Sydney ; and on tbe night of August It, the weather being thick and niuulls coming down at interval.", Captain Vandct-vord took iv the niainlop-galluntsail at 10 r. ji , and went bctow to lie on the sofa in the cabin ; at half-pant 10 he went on deck again aud was just in time to see a'small island right ahead ; he shouted to the man at the wheel to put the helm down, and the vessel had nearly come round when bet- heel touched on the reef which surrounds the island. Half an hour after taking the bottom the copper came over the weatherside in sheets, and the foremast sunk 18 inches ; tbe mainmast was cut away, but the ship began to break up fast. The island proved to be Wake Island, small and uninhabited, surrounded by a reef, rendering it impossible to land if there is any wind blowing at all. Captain Vandervord says it is 10 miles out of the position given in the chart, 10 80' N., 167 K. The crew took to the long boat, and Captain Vandervord secured a chart and nautical instruments, but strange to say no compass was saved ; a case of colouial wine, a bag and a half of bread and two buckets were put in the boat, but no water ; and for 31 days the thirteen men were in the open boat without seeing 1 nil or a ship, or receiving any assistance whatever. They left the wreck at 10 tbe morning after, and with sail made of blankets sewn together, and fixed to :ui oar, began their weary jouruey iv search of some inhabited island. Their sufferings may be imagined. For tho bat five day* they had not a drop of water, and the captain served out one bottle of CaWatTa daily between the thirteen ; that saved their lives ; after that time they had rain and caught wuter, but except at tbe time it was actually raining a half pint of water each only a day was served out and a handful of bread. To the credit of tbe men and their commander there was no insubordination, no attempt to obtain more than their share of tbe scanty provisions and previous water ; silently but resigned they passed day after day, the suu pouring down on their unsheltered heads. Every day Captain Vandervord got the boat's position by means of his instruments, but when the weather was dull of course they weut in all directions for want of it compass, and especially on cloudy nights ; it was the master's intention to make for the Kingsmill group, but tbe current was against them, and then a courso was steered for Ascension Island, aud hud any of the party been able to row they might have reached it, but, weak as they were, all they cculd tlo was to keep their boat before the wind with the blanket sail.

Even the liquorseller will point to the drunkard, unil remark the wreck he is. But how to oppose it, how to lessen its ravages nnd to diminish its effects ; there is wide and honest difference of opinion. Total abstinence pledges, temperance societies, temperance tracts anil lectures, have all been enthusiastically nnd faithfully tried with varying success. The law has been invoked to force u reformation by shutting off the supply of intoxicating agents; but the destruction still goes on to a frightful extent, in spile ofall these influences. Great progress, however, in the right direction has been made. All of these different lines of effort have effected much, doubtless, directly nnd arbitrarily, as oaths of abstinence, and prohibitory laws, but their real and most valuable result is the bettor public sentiment which they have built up and cherished. And here, in the field of public sentiment, lies the hope of temperance. Unless t/tat is healthy and true, pledges, and laws, nnd cold water legions, will go for little or nothing : if it is sound, men will shun excess and intoxication, just as now they shun forgery or burglary. It is clear that under this view, the condition of public opinion on this matter is considerably below the proper standard. A young man may drink under social conventionalities until he loses his ordinary behavior belonging lo good breeding, in an uncertain demeanor in which novel eccentricities of manner, combined with an unexpected and often startling association of ideas, produce an effect which would be comedy itself, were it not so really and sadly tragic, and we are only amused by it, instead of being shocked ; or if we are shocked, the impression is light and transient. We scorn and shun the confirmed drunkard, who, in the grasp of his terrible habit, from which he is well-nigh powerless to escape, deserves our deepest pity, while the festive reveler, starting, of his own choice, down the same road is a "good fellow," and suffers not in our esteem. In other words, intemperance in itself is not criminal in the view of society, which only passes sentence upon its victims when from its effects they become no longer bearable. Results are punished, the causes arc passed over. Under the prevalence of this sentiment, it is not strange that men should thoughtlessly and freely indulge in stimulants which custom has made social, and easily overstep the limit* of a temperate use, and that without any compunctions of con- as loiii; as nn very ridiculous stagej over the Fort Street Church.

It is bad enough to hear words of profanity drop from the lips of excited, thoughtless and wicked men who have not the fear of God before their minds, but positively inexcusable and indecent for editors and magazine writers to cover over their pages with profane words or expressions, although they may be included within quotation marks. Some California papers are highly culpable upon this point, but when the " Atlantic Monthly " allows low and profane expressions to disfigure its pages, it certainly forfeits the title of " immaculate " given to it by Hawthorne. Suppose Thackeray and other writers in their private correspondence with the editor of that magazine, so far forgot themselves as to write words of profanity, we hardly think the writer of the series of articles entitled " Whispering Gallery," is justified in putting their profanity in type. If it is wrong to use one profane word, how much more so to multiply it ten thousand times by printing and re-printing it ? from the Marquesas.— By the rethe American whaleship Concordia, Capt. Jones, which took the Rev. S. Kauwealoha to the Marquesas last fall, recent news has been received. The long and severe drought has made food scarce upon the islands—breadfruit especially. Nothing of special interest to report. Mr. Keiwi was very low with sickness on the island of Fatuhiva. Oap't. Jones supplied the missionaries with stores for their present necessities. The missionaries write in appreciation of Capt. Jones' kindness. News turn of Origin of the Hawaiians. Visits On the 13th of April, W. C. Jones, Esq., American origin of the Hawaiian people. He took the ground that the Malayan origin ol this people could not be established by reason and fact, but that they must have come hither from the American coast. This idea he endeavored to prove by the natural course of winds and currents, by.laoguagc and the habits of the people. While we are not quite prepared to accede to this new theory, we confess there is one strong argument against the old Malayan theory, which Mr. Jones urged with much force, i.e., the winds and currents. The lecturer also endeavored to sustain the proposition that the Hawaiian* are the tppical people of Polynesia, and other groups of islands have been peopled from this group. There was so much that was really new and interesting in the theory of Mr. Jones, that we sincerely hope the lecture may be published. It will be eagerly perused by that large and increasing class of readers who are interested in tracing the migration and origin of nations.

The statement of the present results of their labors forms the most interesting volume whose title stands at the head of this notice. If the actual discoveries so far nidde are not of the highest importance, certain clues have been gained which may lead to greater things hereafter, und a stimulus has been imparted to effort in this direction which must be widely felt. Already a movement has been made in this country, looking to similar explorations in the lands lying east of the Jordan. The narratives embodied in 'The Recovery of Jerusalem ' are exceedingly minute, and are amply illustrated by maps and engravings. The information here gathered cannot fail to prove attractive to all antiquarians, but will have an especial fascination for students of the Bible and of the long history for which Jerusalem furnishes a centre. Reference has already been nude to the drouth in 1864 which gave occasion for the present series of explorations. In this connection we make the following extract: " The principal dependence of the inhabitants is on the cisterns, which receive the rain collected on the roofs and terraces of their houses. Those cisterns which have lately been built by Europeans in convents and dwelling-houses, are good, and, being carefully cleaned out once a year, always keep the water sweet, but it is far otherwise in the native houses. When rain commences to fall, every effort is made to collect as much as possible; all the channels are thrown open, and through these the summer's accumulation of rubbish is carried into the cisterns below; water is even collected from the streets, and the state they are in at the end of the dry season is almost too filthy for description. During early summer little evil arises from using the water of these cisterns, the heavier particles settling to the bottom; toward autumn, however, the water gets low, the buckets in descending stir up the deposit, and the mixture which thousands then have to use as their daily beverage, is too horrible to think of. It is at this time that a miasma appears to rise from the refuse, and that the fever season commences. It is difficult to obtain statististical information in Jerusalem, but one fact alone will show the unhealthy nature of the city: the Jewish population is estimated at about 9,000, yet in twelve months, more than 13,000 cases of sickness were attended to in their own hospital and that of the Protestant Mission. Much relief might be obtained by the adoption of a few simple sanitary precautions; every cistern should be well cleaned once a year and the refuse removed to a distance, instead of being thrown in front of the door to be carried back to the cistern by the first shower. The roofs and terraces of the houses should be well swept, and the water from them made to pass through wire gauze or some simple filtering apparatus, before entering the cistern."

Having so recently visited those regions in company with the Judge, it was like making a second visit to the shores of the Mediterranean.

Alexander C. Cary will was allowed to stand good : testified that one of the signatures " slipped What is truth? asked jesting Pilate; and in the tracing." George C.

Sawyer, come under our notice than the celebrated writing-master, of Boston, found the disputed Rowland will case, the eventful history of signatures " unnatural, studied, made with which is related in the last number of Little great effort," to make them look exactly like & Brown's American Law review. the authentic writing. J)r. Charles T. JackHetty H. Robinson was the daughter of a son, chemist and State Assayer of MassachuNew Yorker, Mott Robinson, and of Abby setts, asserted that under the microscope one Howland, his wife. She lived with her aunt, of the signatures was shown to have been '■ Sylvia Ann Howland, in New Bedford, and was estranged from her father. Edward Mott Robinson died worth nearly six millions, all of which his daughter inherited. Sylvia Ann Howland, the aunt, was an old and feeble woman, childless, of simple habits, and living a retired life. She died some time after Hetty's father, " worth," as the phrase is, over two millions. Hetty Robinson was her chief companion in her later years; and when the old lady died, a will was found dated in 1863, giving about half of her estate in charity, and the income of the remainder to her niece. Hereupon Hetty Robinson produced another will, which gave her the whole estate; and asserted her claims before the courts of law. Her story was that she and the old lady, her aunt, had exchanged wills, each agreeing to bequeath to the other all her property; that this was done before the death of Mott Robinson, at the instance of the old lady, who did not like Hetty's father; and that it was a condition of this exchange of wills, that neither snould alter ihe testamentary disposition without notice to the other. Now the opponents of Hetty Robinson's claims, disputed the genuineness of one of the signatures in this will—that on the "second page," which was in fact a fly leaf. It is an ugly word, but the fact is, they charged that Sylva Ann Howland's signature on the two copies produced of this " second page," were forged. And it is here that we meet with the astonishing contradiction, on which we remarked above. John E. Williams, president of the Metropolitan Bank; Joseph E. Paine of Brooklyn, thirty years an accountant; George Phippen, Jr., of Boston, a bank teller ; Solomon Lincoln, cashier and president of a bank ; Chas. A. Putnam, broker and banker, of Boston ; William F. Davis, of Boston, formerly bank clerk, and for twenty years a studentof handwriting ; Lemuel Gulliver, a bank cashier, and others, tesified that the signatures were undoubtedly forged. George N. Comer, president of the commercial college in Boston, an expert in handwriting, declared that both the signatures to the second page," were forgeries, and that one was done by placing pnper over a genuine signature and making " '• written in pale ink, and covered with a Boston Lunatic Hospital; Stephen Fairbanks, late treasurer of the Western Railroad ; George C. Wilde, clerk of the Su- preme Judicial Court; Francis W. Palfrey, counselor at law, and special examiner for the court of the complainant'* witnesses ; and Joseph B. Spear, a copyist, former clerk to Governor Andrew. These signatures all show a remarkable uniformity, and in some of them the covering appears us remarkable as in those of the case at bar." But this is not all; Sylvia Ann Howland's own signatures to bills of lading were tested, and, it is asserted, in some instances found to match as closely as the disputed signatures. What shall we say then to Professor Peirce, with his mathematical calculation of probabilities. Other experts, George H. Morse,engraver, T. C. Mullin, writing-master, Joseph A. Willard, clerk of the Superior Court, C. French, principal of a commercial college, and John A. Lowell, engraver, all believe the signatures genuine. George Kye, draughtsman, experienced in tracing, found no evidence of tracing; George Mathiot of the Coast Survey Office, believes that no one but a practiced expert could have made a tracing which should be so well done, and holds, therefore, that the signatures are genuine. Finally to match Dr. Jackson and Professor Peirce, Professor Agassi/ and Dr. Oliver Wendell very thick and black and gummy ink." Prof. E. N. Horsford declared the same signature or painted," and to have been " rewritten found indications of tracing in both the disputed signatures. Finally, Prof. Benjamin Peirce, a celebrated mathematician, usserted Holmes, testify that under the microscope that the chances of three signatures being as there are no signs of tracing, and Professor much alike as the three under examination, Agassiz remarks: " Under a compound miwere, mathematically considered, as two croscope, with a power exceeding thirty diamthousand six hundred and sixty-six millions eters, the paper appeared to consist of'fibers of millions, against one. felted together, intercrossing each other in Here were sixteen witnesses, all experts, every direction, not unlike a pile of chips some chemists and microscopists of renown, pressed together.' The action of the ink on and all men of high character, who united these fibers is analyzed and explained with in the assertion that the signatures were his usual clearness: the thicker portions forged ; and some even showed how it was being accumulated upon the superficial fibers, done, and found the traces of bungling work. like mud along the river side after a freshet, But see how these sixteen experts were met. while the more fluid portion has penetrated To answer the assertion that no one ever deeper.

[By our "Compagnon de Voyage.") I'OMPEII. Leaving Sicily, and passing through Scy 11a and Charybdis, so feared by ancient mariners, in a few hours we enter the beautiful Bay of Naples. The islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida were reposing in the light of the morning sun, and Vesuvius in the distance was wreathed in its usual film of smoke. Naples itself, glittering in the sunlight, seemed like a magic city, with its white churches and palaces, wrapt in a shadowy haze. We will not for the present linger in Naples, overlooking the famous bay, but will press forward to Pompeii, the dead yet living city, the city of the past living in the present. Pompeii was overwhelmed A. D. 79, by the eruption of Vesuvius. It lay lor centuries covered with nshes and almost forgotten. But in the year 1748, workmen engaged in making excavations on its ancient site came suddenly upon the buried city; and we of this age are made more acquainted with the manners and customs of the Romans in the most brilliant period of their history, from the uncovering of the city of Pompeii, than from all other sources combined. A recent writer remarks, that Pompeii is one of the most wonderful of the antiquities of Italy, and one which never disappoints the traveler who is at all acquainted with the history om ancient Rome. The impression which i gives of the actual presence of a Roman city, in all the circumstantial reality of its existence two thousand years ago, is so vivid and intense, that it requires but a small effort of the imagination to place yourself among the multitudes which once thronged its streets and theatres, and occupied the now voiceless chambers. The expression so often used, that you expect to see the inhabitants walk out ol their houses to salute you, is scarcely a figure of speech. Many things in fact concur to foster the illusion. You see a street before you carefully paved and well worn, and in good preservation, as if it had been in use on the previous day. The houses generally extend in unbroken lines, and even the dilapidation is in some measure concealed by the small modern roofs placed over the walls to protect them from further destruction by the weather. The doors and win- �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1871. 42 dows indeed are all open, but so they generally are in the modem houses of Italy, and the sombre brown tints ol the walls are not very different from what is seen in the decayed towns of the same country at the present day. You turn to the right and to the left, and wander from street to street, and still you have the perfect image of a town before you. except that no inhabitants appear, and these you may suppose have left a few days before. Here we have a Roman Forum, with all its accompaniment* ol temples and porticoes, not indeed perfect, but only so injured, that what is missing can be replaced, and what is mutilated, restored. There are also many shops with their utensils of trade in l.lem, and many private houses ol all descriptions, from the pool cottage to the patrician mansion, enabling us for the lirst tints to obtain a distinct idea of the form and arrangement of a Roman house, and giving us as it were a glimpse of the domestic life and manners of the people. A few skeletons have been found in the houses of Pompeii, showing that the volcanic dust that covered the city, must have been suddenly showered upon it. The neighboring city of Herciilaueum was covered with the lavu, and hence very few mementoes of the past have been there excavated. But Pompeii was not destroyed by streams of lava, but by showers of cinders, mixed, as is supposed, with liquid mud, which penetrated and flowed into all the lower parts of the houses in 11 way that dryashes could not have done. Hillard remarks, that the public buildings of Pompeii, consisting of temples, basilicas, forumsand theatres, were doubtless imposing in theiraspect, and of fine architectural forms, but their ruins are somewhat disappointing, from the nnture of their materials. They were not built of marble or stone, but of brick covered over with stucco. This will do very well in a climate so mild as that of southern Italy, but nothing is more paltry and shabby than a brick ruin. Vegetation must give it grace and beauty, and there is none here. The visitor is conducted to a wide space strewn over with shafts and capitals of columns, with fallen pediments, broken walls, yawning chasms hall filled with rubbish and shapeless masses of masonry, and he is told that here was a basilica, and there a forum and a temple; but unless his eye be so trained as to see beauty in deformity and symmetry in disorder, he must turn away discouraged and disappointed. Pompeii is supposed at the time of its destruction to have contuined twenty-five thousand inhabitants, and from the few skeletons found in the houses, nearly all the inhabitants must have had time to escape. In a building supposed to have been a garrison, the skeletons of four men were found, and from the place where they lay, it is supposed that they were keeping guard, when the showers of cinders fell upon the doomed city. But they did not fly, but stood firm at their post of duty, and met a brave and fearful death, showing at least that bravery and fidelity are not confined to our age. Jupiter and Venus.

Mr. Fletcher, who passed was in conjunction with the moon on that day.— 1 sfsfcwfsWr. Editors of various newspapers, at the suggestion of astronomers, have been calling attention to the near approach to each other of the two planels, Jupiter and Venus. Their appearance is certainly very fine and grand as they adorn the evening sky in the west. The association of these two heavenly bodies reminds us of s passage in the opening of the fifteenth book of Homer's Iliad. The old Grecian poet represents Jupiter as awakening from sleep " on Ida's height " one bright morning.and looking down upon the warring Greeks and Trojans. The Greeks were triumphant, and the Trojans were fleeing, while Hector of " the glancing helm," lay stretched upon thi! plain, Jupiter immediately saw the sad plight of his favorites the Trojans, and knew that his wife Juno had been practicing her wiles upon him, by tiie aid of"the magic belt ol Venus" In his fury, Jupiter addresses Juno in the following language, \fhich we cjnote from Earl Derby's translation. Juno was rather strong minded, but still Jupiter when aroused, would assert his rights, and believed in no very mild punish- through our city a few weeks since, en route from Melbourne 1o London. Some will remember his lecture upon the Crusades, and siege of Jerusalem. Most truly do we sympathize with him in his great disappointment in not being able to reach London in season tor the May meetings, in consequence of his injury upon the railroad. A few paragraphs from a late letter from him, dated at Ogden, Utah, will be read with interest: OoMBT, Utah, April '-'7, 1871, — Hkv. S. <'.

We would acknowledge our indebtedness to Dr. Nathan Allen, of Lowell, Mass., an old college classmate, for this valuable publication.

It is a very good book to furnish materials for sermons and editorials. The interesting report of Edward L. Pierce, Esq., on Executive Pardons," has already suggested one sermon. It is a most valuable document on a most important subject, and we take pleasure in quoting the following paragraphs from the conclusion of the report: " There is an incident in biography which may well close these general reflections upon the instrumentalities of human progress. .Mr. Justice Tnlfourd, who graced at once literature and the judicial office, while charging a grand jury upon a long calendar of grave offences, submitted for their examination, dwelt upon the causes of crime, ard foremost among them, he placed the indifference of the superior ranks of society to those who are beneath them in station and privileges.

Homer's Iliad and Hawaiian Meles. We desire once more to call the attention of Hawaiian scholars, to the desirableness of giving some attention to the subject of Hawaiian meles, for the purpose of illustrating some perplexing questions connected with the poems of Homer. Upon examination, it might be found that there is no little resemblance between these meles nnd the " chants " or " ballads " sting by the Rapsodists of ancient Greece. There is a most interesting article in the North American Review, for April, called forth by the recent publication of Bryant's Translation of the Iliad. Persons interested in the discussion of the " Homeric question " and kindred topics will read this article with much interest. This writer describes the Homeric poems " as chants addressed to the sense of melody," and refers to that class of translators, who treat the Iliad as " a series of ballads, joined together as an after-thought by some others, than the. bard or bards, who first sung them." If our ideas of Hawaiian or Polynesian meles are correct, they were unwritten chants addressed to the gar and rehearred by a class of men corresponding very nearly to the ancient Grecian Rapsodists. Many of these meles, we understand, have now been committed to writing and are in possession ot Mr. Fornander, President Alexander, and the Hawaiian Government. The late Mr. Andrews, author of the Hawaiian Dictionary, collected many of the meles and. his papers, we learn, have been purchased by the Government. Is there no one, who will edit a sufficient number of these meles, to let the literary world know their worth, and at the same time describe their origin and method of preservation ? Perhaps some Hawaiian Pisistratus might join them together and form a little Iliad ! I FRIEND, JUNE, Is found a form in our language which three competent critics will agree to call adequate." The Bible is sometimes called a wonderful book, penned by so many different writers, in so many different ages and parts of the old world, yet breathing the same spirit and characrerized by such marvellous unity ; yet, if not as wonderful and marvellous as the Bible, still the Poems of Homer will take precedence of all human compositions. They out-rank and out-shine all human productions, yet who can tell us who was Homer, or where he lived, or where he was born ? When the Greeks commenced as an historic people, the Poems of Homer were old—were ancient. After all that has been written upon these Poems in ancient and modern times, including such men as Wolf, Mure, Grote, and hundreds more, still, says Mr. Lewis, no history of the Homeric Poems can be written and any account of them which aims to be satisfactory must be " largely conjectural." In reading late numbers of Every Saturday, now illustrated and improved, we notice that the author of "Tom Brown of Rugby," Thomas Hughes, Esq., is writing a series of sketchy and graphic articles upon American .colleges. We have read with much interest his notices of Harvard and Cornell Universities—the oldest and youngest of American Colleges. We are somewhat surprised that an English Universityman, with a mind under the influences of Oxford prejudices, should find so much to commend and so little to censure in the American system of education. Perhaps, we ought not to be surprised at this fact, for we do not forget his keen criticism and caustic expose of the fagging and roasting practices of Rugby. He was also a great admirer of Dr. Arnold, head-master of Rugby, whose reformatory measures have had such an influence upon the educational system of England. While educators of the New World may learn much by going to the Old World, so may those of the Old World learn something useful, by visiting America and witnessing that wonderful fusing process now in progress. Opposite national traits and peculiarities, old and stereotyped prejudices, may now there be seen rubbing against each other, being modified and softened by contact, and finally settling down and gradually being welded together and forming a new nationality, which, in after ages, will prove to be a vast improvement. We believe old Bishop Berkely caught the true idea when From the reading of this article referred we are glad to learn that Bryant's translation of the Iliad meets with such a favorable reception from critics and scholars. This writer,—Mr. Charles T. Lewis—speaks of Earl Derby's translation as " better than any of its predecessors," yet he thinks Bryant's work, challenges comparison, with the " best English Iliad in existence before it He places much stress upon the appeared." fact that Bryant is a poet of world-wide fame, while Earl Derby did not profess to be a poet. In regard to the difficulty of trans- he wrote: lation, Mr. Lewis remarks, " The whole the Star of Empire takes Its way, " Westward The first four acts already past, Iliad has been turned into English verse A tirth shall close thedrama with the day about forty times ; but no page of it has yet Time's aolilest ulfspnng is tbelast." to, . I. , Old Xi ins of Polynesia.—The exploreis of old ruins in Egypt, Nineveh, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, Central America, Mexico, and Peru, have come to feel that their work was about done and their occupation gone, but a new field is opening. Strange as it may appear, Polynesia has its ruins and its hieroglyphics. A writer in the Town and Country, a weekly illustrated paper, published in Sydney, is now furnishing for that paper, a series of engravings and explanations, respecting old ruins on Bonape, Strong's Island, and the Kingsmill Islands. They tell of an age and people unknown to any now living upon those islands. Having seen with our eyes the ruins on Bonape and Strong's Islands, we are somewhat prepared for such explorations. As yet a profound mystery rests upon the whole subject. Dr. Rae tells us, Polynesians belong to a very old race of humanity coeval with what the learned style the stone age; and W. C. Jones, Esq., came back from a recent trip to Hawaii stating that he has discovered an old ruin on that island, resembling the old Mexican ruins of the Temple of Cholula. Who knows, but that the garden of Eden may yet be discovered as located in the Pacific Islands ! We certainly may witness here the ruins of the fall! General Meeting.—The Hawaiian EvangelicalAssociation will commence its sessions next week, on Monday. The Association is now composed of about forty ordained Hawaiian Pastors, five Lay Delegates from Hawaii, four from Maui, four from Oahu, and three from Kauai, besides a few foreign Pastors and Delegates. The proceedings are all conducted in the Hawaiian language. Thus, it appears, that the missionary work has pretty effectually passed over to the hands of the Hawaiians. This is as it should be. Drinking Petroleum.—It is among the marvels of modern chemistry that a sparkling, foaming champagne wine can be produced from refined petroleum, which will please the eye and tickle the palate like the genuine, but is more deadly in iis effect upon the consumer. Judging from the effects upon some who suppose they have been drinking brandy or gin, or wine, in Honolulu, may it not be that they have been drinking petroleum ? Poor Education.—The statistics of education in France, which for fifty years has been in the hands of the priests, show that forty out of a hundred women contracting marriage were entirely illiterate, and a large proportion of those who professed to be educated could barely sign their names ; SJB per cent, of the men could not sign the marriage register, and one-third of the conscripts could neither read nor write. These facts show the need of the reform that the government is introducing. �45 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1871. Lecture on Public Opinion. Abolish the Bar.—We learn that the I owners of the Australian line of steamers,! are contemplating improvements in the accommodations on board their vessels. It is not only our opinion, but that of | many others, that it would be a great improvement in those vessels if the bar was abolished, or certainty removed from the prominent place which it occupies on ship-board. We do not believe the public good requires a public bar to be opened on steamers running in the Pacific. Judge Hartvvell favored our community a most excellent lecture upon this subject a few evenings since, at the Olympic Hall. It is highly agreeable and profitable, when men of the legal profession or those presiding upon the Bench, are willing to bring forth from their store house of gathered lore, illustrations for a lecture upon some topic of public interest.

Men's Christian Association of Honolulu. Question. Various circumstances have caused this question to be a good deal discussed in Honolulu o( late. The principal cuufe however has been the arrangement (happily only a temporary one) by which an important steamer arrival has regulurly taken place on Sunday, necessitating, in order to insure a speedy transmission of mails and business orders to Australia, a good deal of Sunday work, to say nothing of the excitement and discussion from the usually-considered profitable mode of observing the day. It should not be necessary in any discussion on such a subject to call names. The use of the terms "Puritanical," "bigoted," &c., &c, is in fact about as old-fashioned as the doctrines supposed to be illustrated thereby. It is not to be supposed either, unless there' is good proof thereof, that either side has any desire to injure either the pockets or reputation of the other. Why, then, so many otherwise respectable and sensible men should fly into a passion when such subjects come up, is n question which we must just now leave to philosophers to explain. There are two grounds for the observance ; distinct and each self-sufficient, and still each supporting the other. The first is the command ; wrongly supposed, even by some who are good Christians, to have become obsolete with the change in the day. But it stands in good company; on an equal footing with other commands that no one disputes. Alongside of " Thou shalt not kill;" " Thou shalt not bear false witness ;" stands, " In it thou shalt do no work." The same authority, the same authenticity, the same general adaptation to the wants of human society, exist for this as for the others. Believing this, is it unmanly or unreasonable to obey, or even is it superstitious to expect reward for such obedience and vice versa? " Work " means the business of the six days allotted thereto, and it was in answer to a constrained interpretation of this word "work" that the Divine Man uttered what is the second ground for observance of the day:"The Sabbath is made for man." With respect to this there is no difficulty in convincing most men that a day of rest from actual business is a good thing, especially when convenient. It would seem however as if the principle should be carried further. Man is so constituted, that he cannot be fully developed into all that the Maker intended, without devoting time and strength to the worship of that Maker. He is injuring and wronging both himself and society, by not taking a due proportion of time, and devoting a due proportion of evening to this noble and truly manly duty which alone can save society from utter corruption. Hence it is that society has a right to demand, and a community have a right to demand that what interferes with this duty shall be stopped, except when rial exigencies require exceptions. There is no bigotry, nor superstition, nor intolerance in this; it is sound wisdom and the best sense, and deserves respect and consideration. Now when we are told that " two millions of people are waiting for their mails" it is very true and sounds very plausible as an argument. But no one asks the steamers to be idle a day. Do not the Eastern mails throb in regular pulsations into San Francisco from New York daily, yea, twice a day ? Is it not possible to accommodate those waiting two millions by Stirling the steamer on Thursday instead of on Saturday for her eight-days-to-a-minute voyage? Or is the The Y. M. C. A. held its annual business meeting at the residence of S. B. Dole, at Makiki, A sufficient number were present to make the meeting interesting. The reports showed thiit through the liberal remembrance of our citizens, the present wants of the Society, including especially the Reading Room had lieen provided for. The following officers were elected for the incoming President— J. li. Atlierton. Vict President— T. R. Walker. Treasurer —W. W. Hull. Secretary—J. E. Tucker. The treasurer elect having resigned in consequence of removal from town. Mr. E. C. Damon has been elected to the office. The meeting was rendered interesting by varied remarks and proposals from different members. An Envoy Plenipotentiary was qualified, in the person'of one of the members departing for the States (W. R. Castle), to represent the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. abroad. One of the most important measures of the evening was the adoption of a plan for the production of essays at the regular monthly meetings, the subject to be announced the month previous, in order that news telegraphed on Saturday more valuable than that of any other day. Or is it barely possible that British letters arriving in New York on the previous Sunday—giving six days for the passage across, —are the only valuable ones? And here we leave the subject, feeling, that perhaps, after all the timetable is changed, and that in this case it is a dead Satan that we are after. But the weapons will do for another encounter. the members may prepare for discussion, if so inclined. After the business of the meeting had been transacted, asocial spread prepared the" members for the ride homeward ; and left pleasant remembrances of the evening.

He writes, however, "1 think the Tract Society may be induced to print other works on the same terms as the Hymn Hook. If you can contrive to pay one half in advance. Will it not be well to appropriate the jubilee fund now in the hands of the Treasurer of the Board to this purpose? I think the fund could not be used in a more appropriate manner."

The Hawaiian Board has entered into an engagement with the publisher of the newspaper Ktiokoa, by which the fourth page of that paper is devoted to religious matter. This page has been placed under the superintendence of a committee, consisting of Rev. L. Smith, D. D., Rev. L. Lyons, and Rev. J. D. Paris. It has been the desire of this committee to make this page a power in the Church, and nation. In this they have not been disappointed. The paper has had a larger circulation, and exerted a greater influence the past year than ever before. An independent newspaper conducted on Christian principles cannot but exert a great influence upon the nation. To make the Kuokoa a paper that will exert this influence will be the aim of the publisher and of those who conduct the fourth page. The A Innla has been edited the past year by the Rev. A. 0. Forbes. The circulation has not been so large as in former years. It is of the utmost importance that this paper should circulate largely among our youth. What can we do to increase its circulation? This is a subject for consideration at this meeting.

The schooner Annie, Capt. Babcock, was chartered to carry supplies to our missions in the Gilbert and Marshall groups. For this purpose she left Honolulu on the 13th of July, 1870, and returning arrived here on the 27th of October. Key. H. Bingham and wife, whohad been on the Gilbert Islands for several months, returned on her to Honolulu, as also did the Rev. J. H. Mahoe, wife and children, and the widow of Mr. Kaelemakule, of Namarik, Marshall Islands. Mr. Kaelemakule was not well when he left Namarik to visit these islands, on account of the health of his wife. His troubles increased on board of the Annie. At Bularitari he was taken from the vessel in an unconscious state, and had the kind care of Mr. and Mrs. Bingham with the other missionaries of that station, but died on the 27th of September, 1870. Rev. S. Kauwealoha, of the Marquesas mission, returned to his station on the whaleship ('omoonUa. Capt. Jones, which left here on the 30th of December, 1870, and arrived at Uapou February sth, 1871. A new vessel has been built by the A. B. C. F. M. to replace the one wrecked on Strong's Island in 1869. She sailed from Boston on the 27th of February, 1871. Four missions are now sustained by the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, viz. : The Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Caroline Islands, and the Alarquesas. 59 THE FRIEND, J I LV, 1871. must, if we expect to reap fruits of labor performed in years past.

There has been no year since missions have been commenced in Micronesia when there have been so few white missionaries in the field, and yet there has been no year when our hearts have been so often cheered with glad tidings from those islands.

The disorderly church members were instructed, antl many of them, having confessed their sins, were permitted to come to the Lord's table. The whole number of members received to the church has been 41—US of which are now in the church. One has died and two remain suspended. Two Deacons were chosen the past year—King Abarahama being one of them. Eight members were added to the church, taken from among 50 inquirers. Services on the Sabbath are attended by about 100.

Bntarltarl. A few years ago this was the darkest pornf this mission field. Three Hawaiians were killed by the king. The missionaries fled from the island, and the people appeared to be completely demoralized. It is now the brightest part of the field. The labors of the missionaries have been blessed to the salvation of souls. The king's brother, sister and brother-in-law are now members of the church. The king, though not caring for instruction, and giving himself up to the gratification of his own lusts, does not oppose the missionaries.

Twenty years ago the inhabitants of this Island, or Islands were in the lowest state of heathen degradation. Whaleships were cut off once and again, and the crews murdered in cold blood. Now they are a Christian people. They fear God. Dwell in peace, are industrious, and as well clothed as Hawaiians. Four houses of worship are opened on the Sabbath, which are filled with those who delight to keep holy the Lord's day. 159 persons are connected with the church, under a pastor chosen from among themselves. This pastor is the son of Old King George, who took Mr. Snow under his protection, when he landed upon the Island to instruct the people in the Christian religion. The Queen is a church member, and gives mod evidence of being a humble Christian. The King is moral, intelligent, somewhat avaricious, not a church member, but does not oppose. With deep sorrow we have to record the death of the pastor of this Church. He was a high chief, a humble Christian, a man of influence. Since his death there has been disaffection in the Church, hut nothing serious. May not the Lord raise up upon those islands, and from that once degraded people a nation to illustrate the truth of his faithfulness in all generations. Ponabe.

The Board has also voted to seek and send two more laborers, with their wives, to reinforce the Marquesas mission. All this looks like progress, and it means business in the enterprise entrusted by our Lord and Master to His church. We look for the " MORNING STAR " with great interest, and when the Lord of land and sea shall bring her white wings in sight, we will hail her with as joyous a welcome as rang out from our villages and hills, and from our sea cliffs and white wreathed shores, when the first and second Morning Stars appeared in our eastern horizon, and all the sons and daughters of Hawaii "shouted for joy." has marked all the meetings ol the Association, and order has prevailed. Important subjects have come before our body for deliberation, and all have met with candid attention. Not a little time has been occupied in RELIGIOUS EXERCISES, of prayer, praise and exhortation. On the 16th of June, the full Association, with other Christian friends, commemorated the death of bur blessed Lord and Master in the Supper. It was "A time of love," and we are sure that the Bridegroom was there, lifting up hearts to a higher plane of Christian resolve, and into clearer light and purer love. At the close of this communion season the Association spent half an hour in prayer and praise, and then adjourned to meet again on the 11th of June, 1872. t Titus Coan, Committee •] W. P.

TheLate Sherman Peck, Esq.—We py in smother column the notice of the ath of our esteemed friend and fellow citizen. For more than forty years had he been connected with the mercantile community of the islands, and during that long period had sustained a mercantile character of the highest honor and integrity. We mourn his loss as a personal friend and much esteemed citiand can truly sympathize with the circle bereaved friends and relatives. ti, At the late annual meeting of the Children's Missionary Society, we listened with much interest to the address of Sanford B. Dole, Esq. His topic, Unconscious Influence. His remarks were exceedingly apt, and illustrations well chosen. We hope the address will be published by the Society. Dr. Hillebrand.—In the last Australian steamer for San Francisco, we noticed the departure of this gentleman, who has for more than twenty years been a much esteemed Physician in Honolulu, and also Physician of the Queen's Hospital, ever since its establishment. This position he filled with great credit to himself, and acceptance to the patients. Arrivao l f Missionaries.-We are happy following arrival of the the safe announce Missionaries of the American Board, en route for Micronesia, viz., Rev. B. G. Snow and wife, Key. Mr. Whitney and wife, for Ebon, Marshall Islands ; and the Key. A. A. Stuiges, and Mr. Doane for Potiabe, Caroline Islands. They will remain in Honolulu until the arrival of the Morning Star, daily expected around Cape Horn, when they will embark for tfieir future homes. lo Died in Honolulu, June 29th, William H. Pense, Esq., a native of New York. He was educated in New York City. He had resided on the islands about twenty years. He was extensively known as a naturalist, and had correspondents among scientific men in all parts of the world. He died very suddenly, and only a few moments before he died sealed letters and packages of shells for correspondents in New Zealand. His library in the department of science and natural history was the finest in Polynesia. The Rev. Dr. Stone.—We are most glad distinguished preacher and pastor of the First Congregational Church of San Francisco. We unto welcome as a visitor, this derstand that he intends to make the tour of the islands. We take much pleasure in announcing that the agents of Webb's line of steamers, have so altered their time-table that their vessels will not arrive or depart from Honolulu on the Sabbath. A CARD. At a meeting of the Hawaiian Board, Tuesday evening, June 13th, 1871, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the thank* of the Hawaiian Board of tho Evangelical Association of the Hawaiian Islands be tendered to Capt. Jones, of the whale ship Concordia, for tbe free passage granted in bin vessel to our Missionary, Rev. L. Kauwealoha, from Honolulu to Uapou. J. F. Pooue.

During our European tour, having visited Paris, and taken special interest in examining two of ihe most renowned monuments which adorned the oily, viz. : the " Arc-dcTrioiophe," nnd the "Column Vendome," it has been with mingled emotions of sorrow and indignation that we have been compelled to read the accounts of their destruction. It was our privilege to ascend to the summit of each, and view the city from those commanding eminences. Little did we imagine, as we stood upon them, and contemplnted their firmness and strength—solid as granite, brass and iron could make them, —that only a twelve-month would pass ere both would lie in ruins. We think our readers will be interested in a few facts connected with their history and construction. The "Arc-de-Triomphe occupied a commanding position, from whence twelve avenues or boulevards branched out. This famous Arch was commenced in 1806, and was finished under the reign of Louis Philippe, at a cost of nearly two million dollars, or ten millions of francs. The great Arch messured ninety feet, and the total height was one hundred and fifty-two feet. Its sides were ornamented with entablatures, sculptured in the highest style of artistic excellence, and contained representations of various victories of the French, from 1792 to 1810. sfThe "Column Vendome" is in ruins, and a full account of its fall was announced in the papers received by the last mail. This famous column was constructed after the pattern of the renowned column of Trajan, now standing in Rome. It is a singular fart that Trajan's column should have withstood the successive invasions of Goths, Vandals, and all the other enemies of Rome, but this of Napoleon, equally grand and solid, should have been pulled down, not by tbe enemies of France, but the French themselves. It was inaugurated in 1810, or sixty years ago. Round the shaft run a spiral bass-relief, composed of 425 plates of brass, made of Austrian cannon, representing incidents in the campaign of 1805, and on the top stood a statue of Napoleon 1., erected in 1863. The total height of the column was 134 feet, and could have been ascended inside. The fall " �50 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1871. month, near Colfax, among the Indians, and was buried on the following day. For some time after he came from the Islands he was supported by a monthly allowance by the Sabbath-school of the Congregational church in Sacramento, and appeared well, and seemed to be doing good. After a time, the want of Christian society, and the influence of the Indians, were too much for him, and he sank toward them rather than brought them toward him ; and the Sabbath-school felt constrained to withhold his support. For several months he has had a bad cough, but was not really sick more than two weeks, and kept about till the day before his death. Two days before, he sent for Rev. Mr. Jordan, the local Methodist preacher, and expressed to him sorrow lor his past life and liis faith in Jesus Christ, acknowledged several wrong deeds, and sent a request to one party that he would come and see him, that he might have the assurance of his forgiveness. He seemed to be sincerely penitent, and from the relation of his experience Mr. Jordan was satisfied he was a Christian. He requested the Indians not to burn his body, which is their custom, and they assented to his request. Accordingly, the citizens in the neighborhood gave him a Christian burial. He was dressed in his best clothes, and wrapped in a pretty bedcover or comforter, given him by a lady in the Sandwich Islands. All the Indians followed the remains to the grave, and remained during the services. Among the things he Hymn. left When the dust cleared there was a Kanaka Bible. away, lay I. E. D.

The of this column occurred May 16th, and is thus described: Soon all the arrangements were completed and the bugles sounded, as if the Column, like the walls of Jercho, was to fall from a blast. The cable was stretched and tightened, the Column stood firm, the windlass broke and thu pulley flew into the air and then desconded, striking a sailor and wounding him. " After this accident, Abadie declared that he needed two hours in which lo repair the tackle. The report having spread llntt the Column would fall at quarter past five o'clock, the word was given out that the Column would not fall before seven o'clock. A general expression of disapprobation then went through the crowd. Abadie was accused of complicity with the Versailles Government, and threatened with the guillotine. At twenty minutes past five o'clock the cable was again stretched for the work of demolition. Suddenly, to the surprise of the spectators, the vast column moved and swayed, and then swept magnificently down, bursting into fragments as it struck the earth. It fell lengthwise in the Rue dc La Paix, exactly on the manure cushion prepared for it. splintering with a dull, heavy lumbering sound, while a thick cloud of dust and crushed and powdered masonry rose in the air. The crowd, as soon as the Column fell, gave tremendous shouts of " Vive La Commune," and the bands played the Marseillaise " " " " mariner escaping Irom shipwreck clutches this first of his treasures, and keeps it sacred to God. It goes with the peddler, in his crowded pack ; cheers him at even-tide, when he sits down dusty and fatigued; brightens the freshness of his morning face. It blesses to us when we are born ; gives names half Christendom ; rejoices with us ; has sympathy for our mourning; tempers our grief to finer issues. It is the better part ot our sermons. It lifts man above himself ; our best of uttered prayers are in its storied speech, wherewith our fathers and our patriarchs prayed. The timid man, about awaking from this dream of life, lookc through the glass of Scripture, and his eye grows bright; he does not fear to stand alone, to tread the way unknown and distant, to take the death-angel by the hand, and bid farewell to wife and babies and home. Men rest on this their dearest hopes. It tells them of God and of His blessed Son—of earthly duties and of Heavenly rest." Mills Seminary. From California papers and a "Circular,'' we learn that the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Miils, will remove their Seminary from Benicia to Brooklyn, Alameda County, five miles from Oakland. It appears from these documents that a large and spacious edifice, capable of accommodating two hundred pupils, principals, teachers and servants, has been erected nnd will be ready for occupancy on the Ist of August. We have long been aware that Mr. and Mrs. Mills have been contemplating the removal of their school, and most truly do we rejoice to learn that they will soon enter their new premises, so admirably fitted to accommodate a large number of pupils. Just such an institution was needed, and that it has been established is a matter for devout thanksgiving. Some of the rich men of California have shown their good sense, in making liberal contributions to this enterprise, It was our privilege in the Spring of 1869, to spend two or three days in the Benecia Seminary, attend recitations and observe the general management of the institution, and from what we then witnessed, we do not hesitate to express our decided belief that the " Mill's Seminary," enlarged and beautified, will prove a grand success ; Mr. and Mrs. Mills are admirably qualified for its management. Their long experience as teachers in India, Sandwich Islands, and Benecia, will now fit them to impart to the young ladies of California and Oregon, a sound, practical and polished education, just as good as can be obtained in any part of the world. The late Dr. Nelson, who wrote the Cause and Cure of Infidelity," also wrote the familiar hymn, " My days are gliding swiftly by." To many the fact will have eculiar interest that it was written in a lissouri swamp, close by the Mississippi river, while the Doctor was hiding from the blood-hounds of the Fugitive Slave Law, until he could cross the river into Illinois.

Thompson, of Hilo, occupied the pulpit of the Fort Street Church on Sunday last, and preached to a full audience from the text, _ld Cor. 10:6. ** Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought The " May meetings" of London, New York, and Boston, have become renowned, and much resorted to from various parts of the world. The montn of June, is becoming somewhat conspicuous, as the season, when occur most of our Anniversaries of Benevolent Societies, Ecclesiastical Associations, and School Examinations. During the past month these various meetings have crowded so closely upon each other that a person needed the power to he present in more than one place at the same time, if he would attend all these gatherings. So far as the islands at large are concerned, the meetings of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association have been of the utmost importance. This body has held daily sessions for two weeks. The exercises and discussions have all been conducted in the Hawaiian language. At each meeting, sixty or seventy were some present there native born Hawaiians, as Pastors and to the obedience of Christ." The range of the sermon was on ** The undue pride or exaltation of intellect ;" and was an able production, and listened to with marked attention. We have noted several passages that particularly fixed our attention. '•Look around you brethren, hiid tak* note of the varieties of intellect which enter in various way*, into thin conflict will, There is, llrst of all, mercenary intellect. Thin intellect write! or t.tiks at the rale of bo much per annum, anil on a given understanding: " You lake so much, and m write up this or that subject•, you advocate that line of policy; you denounce this insiuutton ; yoa attack that theory ; you blacken that public man."

I'robably it ha* no wish to inflict BAftNtmrj pair, hut its object is notoriety, and notoriety is only within its reach nndgf f.it-He conditions1 " Again, there is sensunlized intellect; intellect under the guidance and command of anitrial passion. This Mno fancy spt-cies. It would not be dillloult to point to whole literatures, characterized by the greatest fertility of thought, by amide power and beauty of language, whose entire drift ami purpose is to rouse iv the imagination and veins of man those tlery passions which are his worst enemies. '• Again, there is that self-reliant or cynical intellect, too independent to be mercenary, too proud to be vain, too selfrespecting to tie the slave of sense. Vet it is just as little free as is the in st merc_nai y, or vain, or sensualized thought ; since in truth It is the slave of a sublime egotism, lint its enslavement is well disguised ; and its cold, clear, incisive energy passes among men for the very bloom and majesty ol perfect intellectual Ireedi.m." Speaking of the skepticism of men of the highest intellect as to matters of a spiritual character, the rcllgiun. . Delegates, representing about fifty native churches, while only some half-a-dozen American Missionaries, most of whose " frosty locks," indicated that in a few years the ecclesiastical affairs of the native Protestant Churches would have entirely passed into the hands of Hawaiians.

Affecting Scene in Court.—An unusual nnd affecting scene occurred in the Criminal Court at Washington, recently, on the occasion of a prisoner's receiving sentence of death. Judge Olin, while addresstog the guilty man, said : " I do not know how true it is, but I saw in the papers what purported to be a letter to you from your mother. Have you a mother living ? " The prisoner replied in a feeling voice, " I have." "It was a letter," said the judge, "expressing all that kindly, motherly anxiety for you that a mother could express. It touched my heart deeply. (Here the judge was overcome, and the prisoner, bowing his head wept audibly.) Would to God that yon might be removed from a situation like this for that mother's sake and that sister's sake." (The judge again became so deeply affected that he had to pause to wipe away the tears coursing down his cheeks, while the feeling seemed to be shared by the counsel on both sides, the officers of the Court and many spectators.) The judge then said he would not willingly say a word that would wound the prisoner's feelings—nothing but kindness; and, after a few further remarks, passed sentence on the prisoner. ARRIVALS.

The interest was fully kept up until rather a late hour, and the assemblage finally dispersed, feeling that they bad beea well entertained. It seems to be the general impression that more time should be given to physical education. Not alone at Puliation does there seetn to be a lack of attention to this brunch of study. li.it in all our schools there needs to be introduced and sustained a systematic, intelligent and thorough system of gymnastics adapted to the wants of all. It is not enough to put up a swing: or a pair of bars, or to furnish even the most complete apparatus tbat can be obtained. The scholar must be taught how to use these things as carefully and with as much attention to tbe gradual development of his muscle, as is now given to the brain. Not only would the scholars be benefited, but the teachers would find thefhselves better able to withstand the fatigues of each day, did they but exercise their muscle more than they can now.—Advertiser.

The misty hills dreamed, and the silent wood Beamed listening to tbe sorrow of my mood I knew not if tbe earth with me did grieve. Or if it mocked my grief, that bitter eve. : * Then 'twixt my tears a maiden did I see, Who drew anigh me o'er tbe leaf-strewu grass, Then stood and gazed upon me pitifully, With grief-worn eyes, until my woe did pass From me to her, and tearless now I was ; And sho, 'mid tears was asking me of one She long had sought unaided and alone. ' , Him I knew not of, and she turned nwsy Into tbe dark wood ; while my own great pain Still held me there, till dark had slain the day, And perished at the gray dawn's hand again l'hen from the wood a voice cried, "Ah, in vain, Iv vain I seek thee, oh, thou bitter sweet ! Iv what lone land are set thy longed-for feet?" Then I looked up, and lo ! a man there came From 'mid the trees, and stood regarding me ; And once again my tears were dried for shame ; But he oried out, "Oh, mourner, where is she Whom I have sought o'er every land and sea? 1 love her, and she loveth me, and still We meet no more than green hill meeteth hill." The earnest boy always has friends, and is sure to become a man to'be respected. But deliver us from sneering, sarcastic, skeptical boys, and deliver the boys that regard life as a mere joke, from themselves and their prospects. There is a very characteristic story extant of the President of an institution where many boys from our islands have gone to develop themselves. Tin horns becoming unusually resonant of nights, he remarked just before "chapel exercises " one evening " I have heard a good deal of " tooting " on tin horns of late. Now 1 don't know as there is anything morally wrong in a tin horn, or in blowing through it, but I have always noticed that tooting boys were pretty sure to turn out tooting men." The horns did'iit blow tiiat night. : through with a sufficiency of rites and almsgiving to place him on the safe side when this life ends, who makes his creed a kind of spiritual fire-insurance policy, maybe regarded as devoutly pious by those who know him best, and pass for a pillar of the church ; he may even be honest with himself, and live up to his ideal, such as it is ; but a widely different character is that ol the brother, be he within or without the pule of the church militant, whose sympathy and best assistance are always going out to the afflicted and suflering, the sinning and the fallen ; nnd who sometimes forgets himself in his crowded thoughtfulnessfor others.

They are, strange to say, an important part of society. There is many a man that would rather face a battery with his regiment than the combined sarcasm of that band of imps, the village boys. Wo be to him, if they have a " down on him." In fact, there is such magic in the term " the boys" that even when we have grown up to be men, we don't relinquish the title, and still call the company, or whatever it may be, " the boys." The real boys ought to resent it as an infringement on their trade-mark. The man that can seize by sympathy and good sense the minds and will of a lot of boys really exerts more influence than a king. He has unmeasured part in the future history of the place or the country. What men then should we have for teachers ? Men seldom speak of it, but they see very much more of the future man in the boy, than the boy has any idea of. Is the boy plucky, generous, honest? Men see it, and think, as they meanwhile peg boots, or paint carriages, and watch the boy go past: There goes the honest man of twenty years hence. Is the boy tricky, sly, sneering. Ten to one he will be just such a man, bating what some enduring teacher will get him out of the notion of.

Sunday Coaling and Work.—The agents for Webb's, or the American line of steamers, gave notice through the Advertiser of the 7th of July, that through telegraphing lo London, arrangements had been made so that their steamers would not be under the necessity of coaling in Honolulu on the Sabbath. We exceedingly regret that their arrangements have so speedily failed. On the first arrival of the Ajo.r, after giving this notice, the Sabbath stillness is disturbed by coaling, draying, transferring mails, and all the noise and hurry of a week day. This is not right, to keep scores and hundreds of men to work on that day, and oihcrwisc violate the Sabbath laws of God and the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Kcv. Dr. Stone told us last Sabbath evening at Fort Street Church, that the violators of God's law are certain to be overtaken by that Divine Nemesis, which follows with its avenging arrows the guilty. "The mills of God grind slow, but they grind exceeding small " Letters have been received from Mr. and Mrs. Whitney as late as July sth. They were then at Amherst, Mass., attending the jubilee gathering and commencement exercises of the College, which has now been in existence half a century. They had also attended the commencement at Harvard University. They describe in glowing terms their trip East and rambles among the hills nl New Enclaml. The improvements in Emma Square and vicinity are indicative of what may be done in Honolulu when labor and taste are combined. Mr. Montgomery has called into existence a most beautiful ornament to our city. He seems inclined to follow the principle so beautifully elucidated by Cicero, of combining the "useful" with the "beautiful," for he has made asparagus to flourish beside flowering plants from the East Indies and the graceful and symmetrical pine from Norfolk Island. How many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers can with care, skill and labor be produced from a barren soil! When our mother Eve turned away from the gardon and left Eden, had she glanced an eye down the long vista of coming ages and seen the beautiful gardens and fruitful fields, would she have drawn so deep a sigh as Milton imagines ? 1.-avc llie,-.

" The Uuceii of llie l.ell her rohe Maori War Debt or New Zealand.— We have been informed by an English gentleman direct from New Zealand, and who has resided many years in that Colony, that the Colonial war debt for lighting the Maories now amounts to £7,000,000, or $35,000,000. To pay the interest on this enormous debt, 'J50.000 colonists pay upon an average £1, or $115, for every man, woman and child, yet the Maories are not subdued. During the period this war debt has been accumulating the Hawaiians have been gradually becoming civilized, and not one penny has been required to carry on active war measures.

Greece and Palestine occupy but small areas on the map of the world, and the number of their inhabitants was small compared with the great and populous nations of the Old World, yet the books which have been written about those two countries occupy large spaces on the book shelves ot all the libraries of Europe and America. Never were books relating to those countries and their inhabitants multiplying more rapidly than during the nineteenth century. Grotc's History of Greece, in twelve volumes, is the work of a London banker, whose death was announced in the latest London papers, and another history of Greece is already in process of publication, in New York and London, by a living author. It would require a volume to announce the titles even of new books relating to Palestine nnd the Jews. The Hawaiian Islands occupy but a small space on a map of the woskl. The number of their inhabitants would not form a city ot respectable size in Europe or America, and a century has not elapsed since iheir discovery, yet the number of books, historical, controversial, religious and literary, which have been written about—what Edward Everett was pleased to style "this little pin-head kingdom "—would form a very respectable library. We have already gathered not less than a hundred volumes relating to the Sandwich Islands. Among them we have Jarvcs, Bingham, Ellis, Hopkim*, Dibble, and now another is to be added. As years roll away, additional volumes will appear. We should be gratified to see a history of the Hawaiian Islands from the stand-point of a Catholic, or ut lenst a volume which should give a fair and honest exhibition of their missionary labors. It may be asked, why write so much about the Sandwich Islands ? We answer, because on the islsodi, as in Greece an'! �58 IH X I I. lI.N 0. AUGUST. Is 7I. Palestine, there has b-gen a war of opinions, n conflict of ideas, a peculiar development of humanity. On these islands, the old battle of Geneva and Rome has been again fought. The Puritan and the Churchman have here principles of stood up face to face. forms of govand Monarchical Republican ernment have here been modifying each other. Progress and conservatism have been contending for supremacy. In fine, the pure and free gospel of the New Testament has here encountered a shattered and vanishing system of idol worship. Light and darkness have been in sharp conflict. It is about such conflicts, changes and revolutions that thinking people like to read books; and so long as there are people to read and buy books, so long there will be found writers. No man was, in many respecls, better qualified to write another bookon the Sandwich Islands than Dr. Anderson, and are most heartily rejoice that he has bi-en spared to accomplish this work. He rould with no slight degree of propriety, take the following words of the Evangelist Luke as his motto : " Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which art. most surely i believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the word; it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most when referring to the present slate of the Hawaiian Kingdom We are permitted to recognize it as an independent and constitutional government, with a native sovereign at its head, and a government as confessedly cognizant of God's law and the gospel, as any one of the governments of Christian Europe ; and, what is more, with a Christian community ol sellgoverned, self-supporting churches, embracing as large a proportion ol the people, nnd as re»lly entitled to the Christian name, as the churches of the most favored Christian " : countries. " It is a question ol the highest interest, hy what means this great amount of moral, social and civil life was there developed. " This history is tiesigned to answer that i/u.stion," &c., tkc. The author here states his design. The question may be asked, has he fulfilled this design ? He has so far as he has gone, but he has not gone quite far enough. He baa not fully filled out the programme proposed. He has done this, perhaps, so far as one clement or one class of agents was concerned, viz: the missionaries nl tin' American Board of Missions. He has done them justice, as it was right and becoming he should. They stand in the front and foremost as a class of agents laboring for tbe development of a Christian Commonwealth in this heart of the Pacific. All honor, we say, to each man and woman who has labored under the auspices of the A. B. C. F.

When the historian D*Aubigne was about Mission, but for nearly twenty years, or from to publish his great work on the Reformation, 1844 to 186l), we do not think the Hawaiian he met M.

One whole The author thus rcuiarks in hi.? preface, chapter (IX.) is devoted lo "lhe opposition of foreigners ; " besides, many a page and paragraph scattered through the book recounts the misdeeds and shortcomings of men who were inimical to the missionary work ; but it seems that the author maintained a studied silence respecting men ol an opposite stamp, unless they were serving under the Beard. It has required a vast amount ol patient toil and earnest labor to adjust the land titles, and codify the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This has not been, strictly speaking, missionary work, but still no less important, because unless done satisfactorily and properly, the Christian Commonwealth would not have arisen, as Dr. Anderson asserts that it has been developed, into the form of " o government as confessedly cognizant of God's law on,.' the gospel us any one of tin great governments of Christian F.urope." This has not all been done by missionaries, or those who were once missionaries. The Rev. Mr. Richards died in 1847; Dr. Jndd left the government service in 1863, and Dr. Armstrong died in 1860. These are the only gentlemen of the American Mission who have been actively and personally government officers. Their merits we fully recognize. Now what we should have been glad to see in Dr. Anderson's new book would have been not only a chapter on " the opposttion of foreigners," but a chapter wherein the aid and support of foreigners was fairly recognized and duly appreciated. The author of this book congratulates the friends of missions in view ol the pleasing fact that at the end of fifty years, " a heathen nation has been evangelized." This is a subject for devout thanksgiving. Now we admire the skill and tact which Dr. Anderson has displayed in relating the early struggles of those pioneer missionaries. It is a most charming narrative. There is a touch of the comic as well as heroic in many of the encounters of the friends of the Mission with their opposers. The author has alluded once to such an event on page 71, when the Mission challenged their enemies to a fair encounter, and Capt. T. Ap Catesby Jones, of the Peacock, sat as moderator ! We never shall forget the story as we heard it from the lips of this gentleman when Commodore of ill" United States Pacific Squadron in 184.1. The missionaries had been accused of all manner of strange misdemeanors. At length they sent a written challenge to their opposers to meet them in a fair encounter.

The following passengers wen* on board the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Snow, Key. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham, Key. A. A. Sturges, Mrs. Dnane.and two Hawaiian missionaries with their wives. Religious services were held on the quarterdeck. A large concourse of foreigners and Hawaiians gathered on the deck and upon the pier. Prayer : was offered in English by the Rev. Dr. Stone, of San Francisco, in Hawaiian by the Rev. B. G. Parker,and a song was sung, the same being the translation of a song in the Hawaiian, composed by the Rev. Mr. Lyons, of Waimea, Hnwaii.

Baldwin, author of Pre-historie Nations, and editor of the Worcester Shy, from which we quote the following paragraph : "1 notice that a lecturer at the Sandwich Islands has questioned the Malay origin ol the Hawaiians, but 1 cannot see as he lias any good reason lor his doubt. It seems manifest the whole Polynesian race arose from a mixture of the Malays and Papuans, and that tin,* race established by this mixture began its history at a remote period in the past. It is very likely that the Sandwich Islands constituted one ol the important centers from which it was distributed to other islands. It is my belief that this race formerly occupied the whole ol the Japanese islands, nnd the whole of Formosa.

These articles are descriptive of ruins on Ascension, Strong's Island, and some other islands of Micronesia. They are accompanied by wood cuts, and are worthy the attention of inquisitive antiquaries and archaeologists. The present inhabitants of those islands are utterly ignorant of the people who constructed those cyclopean ruins. In remote antiquity a superior race must have dwelt where now the simple minded Micronesia lis live. We hope the missionaries in that region will do all in their power to throw light upon this interesting subject. regions of the Pacific.

It will perhaps reveal a mass of sediment at the bottom of the well that has been little thought of, but which may have been a frightful source of disease by its decay in the water. rooms �i ii I.

These organizations in the States have greatly increased in numbers and influence within the last three years. It is almost too early in their history to speak of them critically. The present tendency of the I'roleslant church in its zeal seems to be to multiply organizations, societies, boards, with confessions of faith and preambles and constitutions and by-laws and like machinery for producing philanthropic results. It is probable that the Women's Board movement is a result, anil perhaps a natural one, of the great development of Young Men's Christian Associations in late years with their generally exclusive character in regard to women. A " History of the Sandwich Islands Mission," by Rufu.s Anderson, D.D., LL.D., has lately come out. We confess ourselves much disappointed in the book, on looking it over. With material and opportunities for one of the richest, most valuable and interesting chapters of church history that has yet been offered to the Christian historian, the author has simply given us an interesting but not disinterested compilation of facts, chronologically arranged, and without philosophical elucidation as to the natural sequence of results from their probable causes, recognizing constant special interpositions of Providence in favor of the Mission of ihe American Board, and against the " Bomiah Mission " and that " worse evil," the Reformed Catholic Mission ; an easy method of accounting for effects, but savoring rather of religious intolerance and sectarian conceit than of intellectual sagacity. Eusebius, the Christian historian of the early middle ages, allowed that his principle in writing history was to conceal f ids injurious to the reputation of the church. We will not say that a similar frank confession is due from the Kcvercnd Doctor, but certainly his hook leaves little lo be added to a record of almost infallible perfection of tbe American Board Mission. We regret the narrow and partisan character of the book. The church and the world are not in need of influences of such a nature. The regular meeting of the Association for July was held at ihe rooms on (he 11th of the month, the tune of meeting having been changed from the last Friday, to the second Friday of each month. The Treasurer's report showed a balance of one dollar in favor of the Association over the expenses of the public readings lately given in the Olympic Hall, which result seemed to be regarded by the members present as satisfactory, though not especially encouraging from a financial point of view. After some interesting discussion on Sunday schools, the Sunday question anil oilier topics, the meeting adjourned. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
